Garmin wants the radar mounted on the bike's seat post, but the seat post rear view is completely blocked by a trunk bag.  The best spot I could find to mount the radar is on the downtube of the bike rack.  Based on photos I see at Cannondale, all the higher end Tesoros have the same rack with square tubing.

The Garmin adapter needs to be the type with a M6 screw through the back, mine specifically is https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0CDPTTDGM. The M6 screw that came with the adapter was really long, so I replaced it with a 25mm long screw.  Insert a M6 nylon lock nut in the bottom slot to attach the adapter to the radar mount.  Use 4 M3-16 screws with 4 M3 nylon lock nuts to join the two halves of the radar mount.

Print in the default orientation for max strength.  Add an extra perimeter or two for strength.  Use supports everywhere.  Don't use grid infill.  I used PETG-CF filament.  I doubt CF filament is necessary, but I would avoid PLA due to it's brittleness.
