Description
UPDATE: I have improved the flag significantly, it now includes:
(just mirror the flags in your slicer to match your needs)
with these new parts you are able to point the flag in all 90° angles.
A flag that you can stick on the side of your computer screen or any object to indicate that you are busy and don't want to be disturbed. Great for an open office environment.
the pole-part of the flag has a little bump that with a satisfying snap, pops into an indention on the flag holder to secure it when you flip it up.
(the holders surface is 22mm x 80mm)
Rafts:
No
Supports:
No
Resolution:
I printed it in 0.2 and it looks fine, but the curves will probably look better in 0.1. the pin should be printed in 0.1, as it fits much better this way.
Notes:
I printed in PLA and it holds up fine, but ABS would probably be the better choice.
no plate adhesion is required.
It has to be strong enough to be pulled out of the flipped-up position, so something like 50% infill for the flag and the flag holder.
The pin should be 100% infill.
I printed walls, top and bottom in 1.2 to make it strong.
just use some double sided tape to mount it, the holder has a big surface so it should hold up (I have not had issues). Be sure to use some tape that can come off of the object you place it on. Would not want adhesive residue on expensive equipment.
it is also a good idea to clean with some rubbing alcohol before placing it.
If the pin does not want to pop in, just use your teeth or some pliers. Note that it is not possible to remove the pin once it has been inserted.
