This time it will be short, simple, and to the point!
Sheet metal bending... for...
It's not big or special—just a simple adaptor to hold a small transformer in place. I had to support this "cubic" shape above the mounting surface and ensure it wouldn't move. If you can guess how we eventually held it in place using this part only, write in the comments!

But here are my tips for this one:
🟧 Orange: Material usage—I was able to support the transformer only on its perimeter, thus allowing me to use the hollowed-out material cleverly. Instead of having another part, I used material already available in this part.
🟦Blue: The material thickness affects the ability to make small bends. In this case, using a 2mm thick material I was able to use a relatively small bending knife and have a minimum clearance of 21mm. If, for example, the material had been 3 mm this dimension would have been a bit problematic - not impossible but surely inconvenient to the manufacturer.
