It's so *happy* to me that using zip ties to mount the extruder motor assembly.
The original creator had to have good reason to do it instead printed mounting plate that uses bolts and nuts.

Zip ties are cheaper and faster to assemble than bolts and nuts. Also simpler as it doesn't require tools.

Depending on the goal of the designer, that might be an advantage.

Most of my technical comments should be correct, but is THIS one ?
Anyway, as a rule of thumb, always double check what people write.
