Hello @tlhutch4
The picture shown in your post #1 is one of my Square Tube Glare Shields for mounting a V3 camera on a window. A 3D printed one for a specific horizontal and vertical aim is not adjustable. What is available to you for double angled supports is your choice of 10° to 30° ± horizontally and vertically in 5° increments. For single angled supports the angle choice is from 0° to 45° in 5° intervals. You would have to measure or estimate the horizontal and vertical ± amount of aim angle needed for your specific camera location. This style of glare shield window camera support requires that the V3’s base be removed before insertion into the printed support. The base removal was done to reduce mounted weight, make a sleeker mount, and use less material to print. You indicated accommodating a specific situation which usually means a fixed aim support. However, four supports could be printed up with different aim points and mounted on the window in a four-square array. When a change of aim is needed, relocate the camera to a different support. The resulting 5” lateral shift of the camera on the window has a negligible effect on the aim point. Below are some photos associated with the above comments.
Using a paper and cardboard Transit to get aim angles.
Some of the accessories that are available in the folders.
The link provided below is for a folder containing six subfolders. Subfolder 0 contains setup and support information. Subfolder 1 contains single-angle units only. The remaining subfolders 2 thru 5 are specific aim angle combinations Right and Down, Left and Down, Left and Up, and Right and Up. There are a total of 125 separate files.

The information below is a preview of my soon-to-be post for 3D printed Full Section V3 window-mounted camera supports. By Full Section I mean the full camera including its base. No disassembly is required. Below is a picture of a printed example.
This picture shows the four quadrant aim angles available. 0° to 45° in 5° increments. Notice the Upper Left and Right aim quadrants require the cameras be mounded up-side-down with an internal invert image setting. This is nessarry to reduce field of view restrictions caused by the support geometry. For these kinds of supports, aim angles greator than 30° horizontally and vertically incure a lot of field of view restrictions the closer you get to 45°.
Below is a link to the Master FSV3 Shields. This folder is organized like the one linked above is.
There are 416 aim and support files within the 5 subfolders.
I am also planning on posting my adjust aim in place window mounted V3 using a folded bracket and a light weight paper black box.
All of the files in the links are free to you. You may be fortunate and have a library near you that provides 3D prints at very little or no cost, except your county taxes.
