Simple clip on a block that clips firmly onto my guttering. There is a 4 mm, approximate, extruding lip on the guttering. 

The item is 30 x 40 mm and 25 mm deep. The clip is 6 mm wide this teeth are offset and 1.75 mm before 0.5 fillet. The Block has a 3.8 mm hole which will allow me to attach my solar panel holder to it.

I am finding Onshape easier to work with after playing around with SCAD, FreeCad, and Fusion 360 and I have attached a link to original file that can be copied into a free Onshape program to mess with as you see fit.

Ok after attaching the first one I felt that I could knock off at least 5 mm off the depth (screw hole is 20 mm deep), and after trying a 4 x 10 mm screw decided to reduce screw hole to 3.6 mm (4 x 20 mm were ok in first print) but smaller length screws were loose

There are two STL files one is 30 mm 3.8 mm the new smaller one 25 mm 3.6 mm.

I have now attached a photo of the profile of the guttering

The clips are attached to  https://www.printables.com/model/200938-outdoor-solar-lights-panel-holder which i made for fence and walls.
