⚙️ Recommended Print Settings
To ensure the threads work smoothy and are strong:
- Material: PLA (Standard), PETG (Recommended for mechanical strength), or ASA.
- Layer Height: 0.12mm or 0.16mm (Crucial for thread precision).
- Walls: 3 or 4 loops (to strengthen the wings).
- Infill: 50% to 100% (Rectilinear).
- Supports: No supports needed (Print flat).
💡 Tips
- Tolerance: Threads are designed with standard ISO tolerances. If it feels too tight initially, screw a metal bolt in and out a few times to "break in" the threads.
- Scaling: Do not scale the model, or the threads will no longer match standard bolts.
