Valentine Heart Nut and Bolt turntable 180mm x 180mm

thingiverse

Large nut and bolt for your partner in tech. The heart-shaped piece measures 180mm x 180mm and stands at 10mm high, featuring an embedded bolt that pairs perfectly with this setup. The nut boasts a thread size 1mm larger than the bolt, ensuring smooth spinning action, and its dimensions are 40mm high and 100mm wide to its edges. The nut fits flush onto the bolt, resulting in a flat layout. I designed the heart using Tinkercad, downloaded it as an STL file, and then resized it for this project. Next, I utilized Mike Mattila's excellent Nut Job from Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:193647. Using OpenScad on my PC, I created both the bolt and nut with the provided Net_Job.scad file. This print requires significant time – approximately 11 hours on my Velleman K8200 – but the end result is very satisfying, and it fits perfectly. As for its uses, I'm unsure; perhaps you can think of something creative to do with this large Valentine's Day-themed print?
