After a summer or two of using a bungee cord, I designed and printed this simple hook-shaped reel locking mechanism. Works really well. Flexible but firm at 50% infill in ABS. It's sized so that is snaps in place around the main support and doesn't fall off. Umbrella model is unknown. **Print Settings** PETG, .2mm, 50% Infill **How Designed** Measured the diameter of the main support tube. Measure the straight-line distance from the far side of the main tube to the outside of the reel handle and made the inner hook dimension to exceed that by a little bit.
