The original plastic tabs of the Savic Sputnik XL small animal homes kept deforming and not securely holding the house to the top of the cage bars.
I made a clip that snugly fits in the slot of the tabs and allows a M6 bolt to be put through it. Therefore - now it is possible to securely attach the Sputnik to the top of the cage and not worry about it coming loose.
Before attachment - it is necessary to cut off the existing plastic tabs off.

Hardware needed:
3x Hex head M6 bolt - at least M6x16 - acc. to DIN 933 or ISO 4017. Can't comment on imperial sizes, but the clip allows a max of 10mm hex head size.
3x Wing nut M6 - DIN 315 or ISO 5448
3x or 6x Wide washers M6 - I like DIN 9021/1 because they have a large outer diameter.

Printing orientation and supports - only the bottoms of the clips need to be supported.
