Bolts for Sliding Legolini

thingiverse

I required some bolts to utilize with the ingenious Sliding Legolini design. I have experimented with numerous arrow designs but each one had at least one drawback. In my design, the bolts are positioned vertically so it doesn't require support. Additionally, I connected four bolts using links so they can be printed without losing adhesion. I strongly recommend printing the bolts in two processes (I use S3D). The first process will cover the bolt part up to 145mm. This section must be lightweight, so you should utilize 0% infill and 2 outline perimeter shells. From the height of 145mm, you should use 100% infill, making the tip of the arrow heavier than its tail. You should clean the links with a knife or side cutting pliers after printing is complete. I did not need to use skirt or brim but you can do as you wish. I have adapted the design for printing using a 0.4mm nozzle. If you utilize regular PLA, you will have approximately 16g of four bolts. So for one kilogram of filament, you will have more than 250 bolts.
