As I was assembling my field elements, I realized that with the top flag being able to be lifted off the post that could lead to flag assemblies being lost or damaged during storage, handling, or moving from one event to another. I designed a simple plug with a lip around the edge that goes into the top of the flag post and keeps the flags from being able to be lifted off the top of the post. The cap does NOT interfere with the movement of the flags in ANY way. I would like to know if these would be legal to leave on the posts during competitions?
If not, I can still use them for storage and handling. It's a friction fit and they pull out with a little effort. I have provided the .STL file if anyone out there would like to print one to check it out. Simple design for a simple solution for a simple problem. Printed in PLA, .4mm nozzle, .2mm layer height, 40% infill.
Here is a link to a zip file containing 2 images and the STL file: https://gv1-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/pruckelshaus_gvsd_org/EUflJ4uxA81KkoQvHOgSUlYB3wp08YBTIx8BVOaR0kQybg?e=JiAawY
