yagi elements transport button

This is a simple button to replace aluminium ones I have been using. As a portable operating radio amateur I regularly transport sets of yagi elements for my 50MHz and 70MHz DK7ZB yagis. I use these buttons with 2mm diameter elastic from eBay to loop around the bundle of elements and keep them securely together and not rattling in the car en route. The extra loop of elastic sticking up in the photo is to pull on to make removal easier, something very useful with numb fingers.

It's a dead simple thing. Originally I used actual buttons but I found they shattered quite often. I then used some aluminium slugs from the punches at work, but this saves drilling and deburring.

I've included the Fusion 360 file for any mods.
