flag-clip

Hybrid clip / carabiner 3D printable model to attach flags to the rope of a flag pole.

The gate of the carabiner does double duty as the lever of the clip.

Spring mechanism inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1212828/remixes

Since this was intended for outdoors use, I've printed this in PETG.
