Long story short: despite their issues, I love the sound of Audio Technica PRO 70 and AT831B mics and I think I'm in good company there. But after losing my soundhole mount, but couldn't stomach the fact that a replacement was $30.
I designed some custom ones which also accommodate a lot of the different mounting approaches I've seen in the gypsy jazz community. Including support mounting INSIDE the sound hole (petit bouche) or behind the bridge (common with feedback-prone D-hole setups).
The interior soundhole mount is thinner profile so it's easier to get in there without loosening strings, and there's also a clip on the other side for the cable so you don't have to tape it down, which I've seen some really hardcore gypsies do

If you happen to have a 3d printer you can print them out yourself here:

I might be open to selling these if there's any interest.

Thanks for posting this V-dub. I'm going to print out a spare or two.
It looks like Hobs do 3D printing in Glasgow: https://hobsstudio.com/branches/glasgow/
