Map Rail Flag Holder

thingiverse

Often found in many classrooms, the map rail has become a popular place to hang posters, decorations, and even maps. My goal for this project was to design a map rail accessory that allows users to easily place a flag on the rail. I went through several iterations, and my main challenge was creating a tight fit on the rail that would securely hold the flag in place. Between the first version (Black) and the second version (second from the left), I reduced the clamping amount and eliminated the bend in the metal of the original flag holder. In my final version, I carefully measured everything to achieve a precise fit.
