Neckerchief Slide Saver - Cub Scouts, BSA, Boy Scouts, Venture Scouts, etc

thingiverse

Every Cub Scout meeting seems to find a couple of dangling neckerchiefs, and hopefully we find these slides on the floor, but often not. Sure they're cute, but these expensive little guys do not stay on. I designed this insert to go inside the slide, and around the neckerchief. It's got a little bump on it that should be barely visible when the slide is on and screw-type threads that keep it secure. It was designed for the metallic slides that the Scout Shop sells, but has so far worked for every slide I've tried. These have been tested throughoughly by my wildest Tiger and Wolf scouts, and we haven't lost a single slide since using them. They don't come off unless intentionally removed, but will still slide off if needed. I've never seen a scout get caught up by the neckerchief, but moms always worry, right? If yanked from the back, this slide will let the neckerchief come off. It won't be super fun, but you won't have a strangled scout like you would when tying them. Print in TPU or other flexible filament. No supports or other special settings needed. Feel free to modify or share. If you feel that this saves you money on replacing slides, drop a tip to the designer and it'll go stratight to the Cub Scout Pack.
