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.
