This is an adapter for a Light & Motion Taz bicycle light, to fit a GoPro mount.
Here's the Taz light:

Print with 100% infill, and 2 shells to make it pretty much solid, to maximize strength.
It requires a M3-.50x12 (metric) bolt. Obtain a **M3-.50x12, 2mm hex bolt**. This longer bolt provides more mating threads with the light, and also allows for a thicker part at the mounting hole, making it stronger overall.
I preferred the 2mm hex bolt head, because bicycle tools typically have a 2mm allen key. You may prefer a philips, flathead, or other variant.
The Taz light is mounted upside down, with this longer mounting screw. I found that the original Taz mounting screw was too short to give me confidence that it's bolting surface area and clamp-able thickness of PLA would hold up over bumps and jolts the bike experienced on the road.
Note: originally I didn't print with 100% infill, and the adapter broke over the f
