nut & bolt 1/4" - 20 UNC for tripods/camera mount standard

thingiverse

I needed to manufacture my own nuts & bolts for my camera and tripod by hand. With Fusion 3D's advanced capabilities, it is extremely simple to create them from scratch. However, once printed, one must take into account tolerances that can make all the difference in how they fit together perfectly. I had tried several times before finally discovering that you need to reduce the size of the nut by 0.2mm and increase the diameter of the hole accordingly. Don't make the same mistake I did when printing them with Cura - it's crucial to be aware of your settings' effects, or one object will be resized unnecessarily. If you don't catch the pop-up notification like I did, you'll end up wasting valuable time. Use this method and enjoy the satisfaction of having created something with your own hands, but please do share any improvements you make with me!
