This compass holder is meant as a replacement for the original mount that came with the compass already.
On my boat, one of the mounting arms broke and I had to find a way to replace it. As I did not like the fact that you just remove the compass but leave the (bulky) holder in place where it can get damaged easily, I decided to design my replacement in such a way, that you can remove the whole mount and just leave a small and flat mounting plate in place. This way it is much less likely to get damaged by accident.
Print in PETG as it will last longer under UV exposition.
EDIT: 04/10/22
Updated the files. I changed the connection area between the two parts to have a little more room for the screw head.

You can choose to use more infill, but that won't make the arms stronger as they really only consist of perimeters.
Print the holder upright on your build plate and the mounting plate laying flat on its back.Post-Printing
The mounting holes for the compass are quite tight by design. You may have to sand them a little bit to get the screws in more easily, but that will lead to a really good fit.
