|Thumbscrew
|We recommend printing the thumbscrew with the narrower end of the hole touching the buildplate.

====Settings====
=====Thumbscrew=====
We start with the default "Standard Quality" 0.2 mm print profile.  We recommend the following settings overrides:
{| class="wikitable"
!Setting
!Recommendation
!Notes
|-
|Shell - Wall Line Count
|4
|This was increased from the default to increase the durability when higher amounts of stress are applied.  
|-
|Shell - Bottom Layers
|4
|This will provide sturdy walls for each prong.
|-
|Shell - Top Layers
|4
|This will provide sturdy walls for each prong.
|-
|Infill - Density
|45
|This will provide enough stability for a small thumbscrew under repeated use.
|-
|Infill - Pattern
|Tri-Hexagon
Cubic Subdivision
|These infill patterns provide good internal support in multiple directions.  Tri-Hexagon uses less filament but is also less durable.
|-
|Speed - Print Speed
|40mm/s
|For final production prints, we recommend printing slower than average to decrease stringing with small holes.
|-
|Support - Generate Support
|No
|This part has no overhangs.
|-
|Build Plate Adhesion - Adhesion Type
|Raft
|This part is small and it is recommended to use a raft.

===Build Surface===

{| class="wikitable"
!Method
!Notes
|-
|Painter's tape
|
|-
|Glue stick
|Creates an uneven and non-uniform first print layer appearance.
|-
|Adhesive build surface
|First layer may have problems printing full height depending on type and hardness of build surface, but this does not affect the overall printability.
|-
|Polyetherimide (PEI) build plate
|Some parts may require a raft if there are issues with the first layer adhering.
