WHAT IT IS
  A dock adapter. It holds the receiver that any swappable holder on the site clicks into: print the
  holder's Dock (swap between mounts) version, fix this adapter to your carrier, and drop the holder in
  from above until it clicks. Press the release pad and lift to take it off.
  Lock screw (every adapter): 1 x M5 short heat-set insert + 1 x M5 x 25 knurled thumbscrew (DIN 464) in the 45-degree lock boss. Optional on a bench, use it on moving carts and lift gates.
