Yes, I found out from AndyMark after my post that this was the work of an intern from FTC4251. So thanks to FTC4251! I thought it looked somewhat similar to their previous Samantha mount at the link below:

BTW, it isn't obvious at first glance from the AndyMark page, but the holes in the 3D printable bracket are spaced to match the Tetrix channel hole spacing.
Finally, one of the schools I work with only has a 3D printer with a 5 inch bed, so this 5 inch bracket is a little tight for that printer (especially with the traditional skirt around the part). I worked up a version that fits in a 4.6 inch square by rotating the original 45 degrees and slicing off the top corners of the original part. If anybody is in a similar situation, they can download this slightly smaller version of the bracket as an STL file at
this link. The original is still better if your printer is able to print 5 inch parts.
