Pergo Yellow Mailbox Flag Mail Arrived

When receiving your mail, make sure to lower the flag. This ensures that the flag is reset. The letter carrier will open the door, causing the flag to rise. The flag remains up until you manually lower it, meaning only the opening of the door and your deliberate action can cause it to move. For outdoor projects, ABS plastic is the way to go. PLA will not last long in harsh weather conditions. Its design allows for easy decomposition, making it a more environmentally friendly option. The screws used are the standard hex screws included with every roll of eSun Filament. You may already have 20-30 of these screws from previous filament rolls and be wondering what to use them for. Remove the two screws and nuts from the filament roll. Next, drill a small hole - 3/16" in diameter will do. Yes, it's a bit small, but that's the idea. By cutting new threads when you insert the screws, you can achieve a secure fit without needing extra nuts. If you use a larger hole, you may need more nuts to tighten everything properly. Print the flag and roller solid (100% infill). For the flag, I used two shells, while the roller required six for a smooth finish with no visible infill lines. Let me know if you have any further questions or need additional information. The mailbox I'm using is a budget-friendly Gibraltar Decorative Medium Capacity Galvanized Steel Black Mailbox & Post Combo, available on eBay and Amazon. Resizing it to 0.916 will allow it to print on smaller printers with a maximum length of 250mm. By adjusting the hole's position during resizing, even compact printers can still produce a functional item.
