Seated Split Washer for Caphead M3 Bolts (FlashForge Creator, Replicator 1)

thingiverse

To prevent my FlashForge's cap-head screws from sinking into the frame, I printed washers during a holiday when hardware stores were closed. These washers feature a split design for easy insertion and have a recess for the cap head to ensure they stay seated without slipping. Although not the prettiest, they print quickly, tighten down well, and can be customized with different thicknesses. I've even added a "thick" version with a 1mm under-head seat for specific screws that require full bolt removal. Both versions have their uses in assembling the printer frame.
