Designing the holder for the distance sensor

Before anything gets printed, the holder has to exist as a drawing. In this step I model the part that will carry the ultrasonic sensor on our EV charger.

It has to hold the sensor firmly, keep it aimed at the right spot, and still fit a surface it was never meant for.

Designing around existing hardware is usually the slowest part of these projects, and the one nobody sees later.
