This is an adapter to fit various size parasol tubes to various size parasol bases. Perfect if you buy a new parasol but want to reuse your old base, or if you lost your adapter. Most bases has some form of retaining mechanism, so there is a slot for that. If not needed, set the slot width to zero. Also you may want to have a tongue in that slot, in which case you set the tongue width to the desired non-zero value.

It is designed for printing with 100% infill. No support should be needed. ABS is a suitable material, but you may want to compensate for thermal crimping (can be done in customizer). PLA has some issues with temperature stability and UV-sensitivity when used outdoors, but at least in temperate climates it may still hold for a many years. (My oldest print, in PLA, is now 8 years old and is still totally fine.)

The files marked v1 and v2 are old versions, for completeness.
