Tractive GPS clip with retainer

Took laazarus' original GPS clip and added bunch of reinforcements, cutout for the charging clip, studs for better collar grip and a retainer that fastens with M3 bolts and nuts for easy removal. It's not pretty, but it seems to work!

Tested on an a very active, despite being over 11 years old, forest sausage (also known as a dachshund).

For the mounting of the retainer I used M3x6 bolts and M3 nuts.

Update 20/07/2019:After a year of heavy use, I've made a small update to the over all design. Added more material around the mounting holes for both halves of the clip. Should be more robust. The V2 model contains both the clip and the retainer in one file in the recommended printing orientation. Also I'd recommend printing in PETG over PLA. Should last longer in use.

Update 28/07/2018: Cleaned the models up a bit and added some reinforcements. Also rounded the edges of the clip arms. Found that the both pieces are easier to print on their sides (and makes the whole design more resilient) so I re-oriented the models accordingly. Supports are now strongly recommended!

The holes for the nuts WILL be snug so some coercion is needed. I use a screw to pull the nuts in
