Prusa MK3 - Robust PINDA Mount for Extruder Body

The Prusa i3 MK3 is a remarkable machine, a triumph of trial-and-error, engineering, & design. The single part of the device that makes me burn with an incomprehensible rage is the PINDA mount. That @#^$% clamp...it has just enough resistance that you can't gently dial in the height of the probe ("Just a little harder...just a bit more...just a DAMMIT!") & just enough fragility to break into pieces if you look at it sideways.
I designed this to replace the stock MK3 "Extruder Body" part, robustly securing the probe at the correct right height off the print bed & locking it in place with the small zip ties that come with MK3. Just put the probe in the thing, push it down so it sits on the shoulder, & zip tie that little bastard down.
I've been printing with it for a week & I've wept salty tears of joy.
