Customizable - Every nut and washer

thingiverse

I've disabled customizer support, because this script causes issues in the queue. It works fine locally, so I've uploaded standard size variants. If you need customized fasteners, download and use the OpenSCAD script – it was already rigged for customizer, making it easy to edit parameters to your needs. This script creates a package of every common nut and washer variant for a given diameter. Choose from a list of standard metric and U.S. sizes, and related dimensions will be selected based on published standards (check the included spreadsheet for data and sources). No threading is applied to these nuts; instead, you cut threads yourself the first time when using them with metal screws or bolts. The fasteners are made of plastic, so use them only in low-load applications. Included fasteners: hex nut, jam nut (a thinner hex nut), cap nut (has a dome on top, also known as an acorn nut), thumb nut (nurled edge for hand tightening), square nut, wing nut, coupler nut (long nut for connecting two threaded rods together), lock washer (raised teeth attempt to prevent screws from backing out), small washer, standard washer, fender washer, and dowel pin (cylinder with beveled ends). Key features: Can build a full set of fasteners with just one setting, but there are many overrides and adjustments available if needed. Select from standard U.S. and metric sizes – no need to look anything up in tables or convert units. Adjustable tolerances get the fit right for your printer. All fastener specifications match published standards, making them interchangeable (well, except for being made of plastic). All hex/square nuts have subtly rounded corners so they fit easily into standard tools. Instructions: If the uploaded parts come out too loose or tight, download the OpenSCAD script and load it into OpenSCAD to adjust the tolerances. Check comments on tolerance fields for details. If you need something unique, play with the overrides in the script as well.
