[Picture shows the light centered on the seatpost using my 'fixed' housing]

The Lezyne Zecto Drive 200+ was designed to mount off-center on the seatpost of your bicycle, for some reason.
I did a very basic redesign and printed a new rear housing so it's mounted and centered properly.

You can see in the picture below that the groove for the seatpost in the Lezyne housing is offset to one side. I assure you: it is noticeable and annoying.
I designed a basic rear housing with a groove in the center to remedy the position and put band-hooks in mirrored positions on either side—another thing the Lezyne didn't do, for some reason.

This is V1 out of PLA Pro and if I like it i will ask a friend of mine to print it in CF-infused nylon.

I'm also planning a hard-mount version via a bolted clamp, because that's my style, but i didn't have the correct length bolts on hand.
