Lockable Insert for Honeycomb Storage Wall / HSW / Max. Load 15kg

Hang heavy equipment on your Honeycomb Storage Wall with this inserts. The insert can withstand forces up to 15 kg and does not detach from the HSW.

I have made two variants, M4 and M5.

Update:

• 04.03.2024 nut M3 added, can only be locked from the back.

Test Setup for force determination:

Parts needed for one Insert

• Insert lockable M4 or M5
• Nut with hexagon socket or slot

Print Settings:

• 0,4mm nozzle

Assembly Notes:

Note: The Allen key may fit very tightly into the "nut with hexagon socket". Please try it out before fitting the "Lockable Insert".

Take the empty insert:

Insert the nut M4 or M5:

Insert the Nut with hexagon socket:

Insert the pre-assembled Lockable Insert into the HSW:

Use the correct hexagon socket wrench:

Slide the Allen key into the nut:

and lock the insert with a 30 degree turn of the nut.

Enjoy:

Note:

• Use the nut with slot and a screwdriver if the nut with hexagon socket is getting round.
• The maximum force depends on quality and accuracy of your print, your printer, the used material,load type and all possible tolerances. Also on your Honeycomb Storage Wall.
• If the force is exceeded once and the insert has been torn out, the force of 15 kg can no longer be reached. However, the insert should still be functional.
• You always need the exact screw length so that the screw does not protrude more than 1 mm beyond the nut. Otherwise the insert cannot be locked properly. If the insert can also be locked from the rear, then the nut with the 3 mm hexagon socket can also be used for the M4 insert. This means that longer screws can also be used.
