First of all, a huge thanks to GaiwainReif for the canopy design! Original can be found here - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4300989
I used his canopy, trimmed the front a bit to allow more clearance for wires when panning left and right, and made the brackets for mounting it with screws. The mounting brackets screw down to the wood plate on the Binary's pod using small self tapping screws, the holes are slightly larger than 3mm for those. I marked and drilled small pilot holes in the wood plate. The canopy then screws onto the mounts with short M3 screws that will thread into the mounts. I think I used 8mm screws for this, it's not super critical so long as they're not too long. I also trimmed a little hole on the top of the canopy for my antenna to stick up through, but the model doesn't have that cut out. I cut it after printing, left the model solid so people can just cut what they need, or leave it closed up depending on their own setups.
For printing the canopy, place the rear edge of it on the bed, nose up, and use a brim for adhesion. The brackets are simple to print flat on the bed. I used PETG for the ones pictures, PLA might work but PETG is more flexible and less brittle, and should stand up to the hot summer sun a bit better.
