I liked the hotend heater block clamp design of the original model, so I adapted the TZ hotend ADXL345 mount to the Mellow/BTT ADXL345 accelerometer with 44 mm mounting hole spacing. For these I have added two holes for M3 threaded inserts (max. 6 mm height). The two existing mounting holes (also for M3 inserts) can be used to mount the accelerometer to the printer bed. I have drilled an extra hole into my spring steel sheet. Note that drilling into these spring steel sheets is difficult! It did not work with a regular handheld power drill and metal drills I had available. It only worked with a carbide tipped stone/tile drill. 

Both, the mounting on the TZ hotend heater block and on the spring steel print bed works perfectly and I got excellent acceleration data for resonance compensation. 

Printed in PETG, but other rigid filaments should work fine as well. 

 

You can tweak and further adapt the changes I made using the public Onshape project:
