| Part | Notes | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 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:
| 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. |
