Sensor holder printed and mounted outside

Fourth step of the garage project: the holder came off the printer and went straight onto the charger.

The ultrasonic sensor, which measures distance using sound, needs to point at the parking spot at a stable angle. A wobbly mount means changing readings for no reason.

With the sensor in place, the outdoor side of the setup is done and the software can take over.
