The attached STL's are for a hexagonal (6x corner pieces) gate and wooden strips with the dimensions of 10x5mm the length of the sticks is variable, I used different lengths to see which one I like best and I settled with 170mm.

I use magnets with the diameter of 17mm and a height of 3mm, this is what the attached STL will fit perfectly, you can use any size of magnet, just adjust the measurements in the customizer. Two Magnet mounts will hold the gate firmly in place. One might work too, but the risk of gate movement on impact is much higher.

In the customizer (openSCAD) you can adjust the amount of corners your polygon should have and the dimensions of the wooden sticks you use.

I recommend to use flexible filament to print those parts to make them more durable, also the sticks will fit in tightly, without the need to glue them to the corner pieces.

The wooden sticks were first base coated with white spray paint and then finished off with different neon colored spray paints, so that they are nicely visible in the FPV feed.
