I only needed the washer, but it fixed the mailbox, great set of files. Is there any way to customize the flag?

I printed the set (minus flag) and I would like to leave some tips for others: 1. I recommend something other than PLA, as the ratcheting mechanism needs more flexibility. Mine broke but I fortunately have the original part so I was able to use that and everything else went well. 2. 0.4mm nozzle is the maximum size. I originally printed in 0.6mm and that did not go well, the sawtooth did not have much "saw" to them, though I kind of suspect it would work anyway. I do think the print suffered a lot with 0.6mm 3. Supports are needed for the "dome" in one of the parts, and possibly for the sawtooth piece. I chose to print it on its side to allow for the sawtooth mechanism. I think an alternative is to print the sawtooth flat and ignore some of the "base" that would clip through the build plate. I suspect it would work just fine like that. Lastly, the assembly order is flag -> bracket -> washer -> mailbox side -> ratchet lock
