While it is great to have photogates mounted above the track, it has disadvantages too. I designed these horizontal mounts to go with the Vernier tracks, but they will probably work with PASCO tracks too.
To go with the photogate adapter, there are also horizontal cart flags. The cart flags are an easy and quick print. To print the photogate adapters, I use auto generated tree supports, and they work really well. Infill percentage isn't a big concern, at 15%, they seem to be fine.
You will need to pieces of hardware for these, one set to attach the adapter to the track and the second to attach the photogate to the adapter. All of the hardware is ¼ inch.
You can also consider printing my quarter inch handles if you haven't yet!
Edit: I added a second flag option, a single flag, if you just want students to measure the velocity once.
