Description

3D printed nails appear to be a terrible idea. I figured they would be, but I wanted to try it anyway, so I gave it my best shot. This design places the nails horizontally to avoid delamination issues. 100% infill is necessary to have any chance at the necessary rigidity.

After testing and smashing of pieces, I can discern no obvious utility of this, and do not recommend using it for anything. But I figured I'd upload it anyway because I couldn't find anyone else who had, and there seem to be many tinkerers here who might enjoy experimenting with this anyway. Perhaps there is a material out there which makes this useful, but PLA does not appear to be it.

This works in Customizer. Good luck!
