My garage door runs N/S, so around 1pm the sun saturates the safety sensor and prevents the garage door from closing. I could have probably just swapped the transmitter/receiver, or perhaps used a toilet paper roll and some duct tape, but hey I have a 3D printer. This attaches to the mount with a couple small binder clips, and blocks the sun adequately. Tube is tilted 30deg, and the binder clip solution allows enough slack to adjust manually.
