Assembly
The “sockets” for the hex nuts are tapered, and are intended to be a tight fit. The easiest way to insert a hex nut into the print is to screw the nut onto a machine screw, and then use this “handle” to tap the nut into the socket with a hammer. Alternatively, a matching machine screw/washer can be used to pull the nut into the socket.
Print Instructions
I printed in PETG using these settings :
- 0.2mm layer height
- 3 perimeters
- 15% rectilinear infill
Note : I prefer to use PETG for use in the shop, but PLA would probably work for these as well.
