Part	Notes	Example
Thumbscrew	We recommend printing the thumbscrew with the narrower end of the hole touching the buildplate.

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.

This part has been print tested with the following 3D printers:

Manufacturer	Model	Notes

This part has been print tested with the following build surfaces:

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.

This part has been print tested with the following materials:

Filament	Manufacturer	Notes
Overture PLA	Overture	Excellent build quality and durability. Good for prototyping or production kiosks.
Amazon Basics PLA	Amazon	Decent build quality and durability. Recommended for rapid prototyping.
