Locking Pin (fits my pegboard tool holders)

This is the locking pin for my pegboard tool holder designs.

This flower is made of elements to stick together with superglue: 
- a stable base in the form of flat sheets allowing the final object to be placed on a table (a model style rose leaves and a model style crocus leaves) 
- one rod: use simply 1.75 mm filament 
- foliage of 3 or 5 leaves which attaches to the base 
- a chalice of 4 sepals 
- petals (several models: rose, poppy, daisy) 
- a heart, on which the petals close

Flat for the printing, the majority of the elements are to be heated with hair dryer or hot water in order to give desired shape and volume.

<div>Well wasn&apos;t this frustrating, after 9 hours of printing I found out the cable coming out of the echo was too close to the bottom after all was said and done. :( So another several hours redesigning things. I had issues trying to set the legs without pegs, and the main body broke due to a flaw in the original files for the echo holder I was using..
so... I completely rebuilt a lot of the parts, and then rebuilt them again after a final print. This design is now fully tested and printed and I had no issues anywhere. (yay :) )
<ul><li>
the echo holder (main v2) 
<ul><li>its a mm wider so that the echo doesnt stress it so much going in and out</li>
<li>The holding collar is thicker so that it has more rigidity</li>
<li>I removed the top cut-out (this cuts off 30 min of printing supports there and makes the top easier to handle)</li>
<li>The master cut outs are now curved so that there is even more strength to those areas</li>
<li>removed the odd peg system and put in 2 pegs for the legs, simple round pegs with logs of clearance, just to help to put into the right location without huge hassles</li>
<li>I recommend 50% fill for the holder, you want strength here, and it does not add much to print time</li>
</ul></li>
<li>

<ul><li>these are hollowed with tolerance for the new pegs body and feet</li>
<li>the cupped section will attach to the body</li>

<li>I let this set (if you arent using the bow just eye up the ears how and where you like them</li>
<li>If you opted for the nice full ears and printed them twice after the bow/ear combination has set you can now easily glue the halves together and set</li>
<li>I sanded the bottom of the legs to fit snug into the feet (just to remove elephants foot), if this is real snug no glue is needed</li>
<li>For the connections of the legs to the body, I used superglue and let it sit and dry nicely THEN attach the feet, this gives you the optimal chance to set everything nicely for balance as the feet placement can affect this. I didnt have any issues getting things up, the power cable adds a small point of contact, if this is an issue for you just stretch the legs on the Z-axis a few more MM</li>
<li>If you are gluing the feet to the legs use white glue for the connections so you get some time to play and settle things nice and flat</li>
