Description
I ordered a set of furniture connectors and the pack was missing one of these half moon washers. Rather than deal with the supplier, I just printed one which will work just fine.
This one is for an M8 threaded rod, the bore diameter is 37mm .. very close to 1-1/2". Measures: 26mm long, 14mm tall and 6.3mm thick. hole diameter for the rod is 8.1mm.
Print settings:
100% solid part by increasing wall loops (10)
print flat side down .. this way layer lines won't split under pressure.
don't use PLA .. it creeps under pressure. Prefer PETG. I printed with PETG-CF.
I opted for 0.08mm layer height for a smooth top.
I included the Fusion file to adjust.
