Description
A hose dragged across my gutter during a cleaning job managed to catch on my irrigation rain sensor and snap the plastic tab that fixes it to the metal gutter clamp.
So, rather than spend $50 getting a new one, I designed a replacement holder. Fits Orbit Rain sensor here:

There is a slot for the broken piece of tab. If yours snapped in a different place, you may need to chew some more off with side cutters/box-cutter.
Printed in white ABS, the sensor friction-fits into the holder fairly snugly. If you need more security, simply add a ziptie around the whole thing. Model prints without supports.
OpenSCAD file included for easy remixing/mods.
