Simple BluCon holder by ctrlbru

Please also check version 2 below.
This is an attempt to build a simple and practical support to hold a BluCon reader on a Libre patch. The ring holds tight enough on the Libre and the four holders keep the BluCon nicely in position but lets you remove it with one hand. Not much testing has been done, but it seems to work.
I also included the FreeCAD project to make it simpler to adapt to other printers in case it doesn't fit perfectly. The number of holders can be increased in the polar array, their inclination can be changed in the extrusion object, and the internal width of the ring can be adjusted.
Version 2:
The first version kinda works but has some issues: PLA is not elastic enough and after a few days it fails. One possibility is to use PET, but I decided to review the initial design and create a new one, using multiple materials.
The base, part a, is essentially the same and should be printed in PET while the top, part b, should be printed with TPU 98A. This has a lower profile and should not get caught in the clothes.
