M3-M6 Thumbscrews

thingiverse

Often I found myself needing thumbscrews on my projects, and since M3-M6 are my most common used sizes i deceided to make myself some: The thumbscrews are designed for socket head screws and use a nut in the compartment on the underside to connect them securely together. Depending on your printer you might need supports in the cavity that holds the nut for the normal/first version, but it have been printed fine without if you place the nut side up. There is also a version with a punch trough layer of bridging if you have problems printing the normal one without support. That version is to be printed with the round hole facing the buildplate. I have also included a spacer for where that is needed, or to simply hide a bit of threads. The length of this can be adjusted by changing the prints Z-size in your slicer.
