Snowspeeder Reusable Trail Marker

thingiverse

This is a compact and reusable trail marker made to resemble a Snowspeeder from Star Wars. I mostly use them to mark my bear bag when backpacking, or the way to my off-trail home for the night. However, you could use them for all sorts of things like, marking the latrine, potential campsites, dangerous terrain like a large hole in the ground or wasp nest, safe passage to water sources, etc. With 12" of 1.8mm guyline, they weigh only .17 oz each, so you can bring a few without weighing yourself down! I use 1.8mm guyline for the cord, so that's what it's sized to. However, I do have a large size that should work with paracord too. I also include the fully parametric FreeCAD file. Just edit the values in the spreadsheet to easily adjust. View my profile for other Star Wars related backpacking/camping gear!
