I've never had a lot of luck with threads but I'll give it a go. I'll mock up something and see how it comes out.
Awesome! As long it look clean and secure on the brace 3/4" thickness it all good with me :)

Not quite sure exactly what you are asking for. You want a clip like thing that will fit over the 3/4" thick euro brace and the autofeeder will hook to that so it sits on top of the brace?

Can you draw up a little sketch?

Yes, that is correct and 2 little screws to secure the clip sit on the brace so that won't fall down to the water. Thanks

Hmm well I have an autofeeder on my tank. I could probably figure something out. I would have to remove mine... it's secured upside down in my light hood. lol

Not sure why you want screws if the clip wraps around the bracing from top to bottom. The clip portion could be made to fit snugly and put tension on the brace to hold it in place.

Update for anyone else that is following along. Below are some photos of the final product. Reef-Tank is all set but if anyone else is wanting a bracket for their AFS shoot me a PM. Questions post below. Currently I have blue ABS. Red is on order along with black screws.

Will fit Euro-brace up to a full 3/4" thick

Red version w black screws. I am tweaking the printing a bit and trying a different support structure for the one side and trying a print with holes printed. Turns out I am not very good at drilling straight holes by hand LOL
