When printed in PETG with 70% infill and 10 walls, it is really strong.
Insert a "Pause" in your slicer on the right height to insert the nut.

To print this I am using:

  • PrusaSlicer (OrcaSlicer can probably do the same)

  • Orientation: grip facing up

  • PETG filament

  • 10 walls

  • 10 solid layers on top and bottom

  • 70% Cubic infill

  • Layer height: 0.15 mm

  • A cylindrical support blocker to prevent supports in the shaft and where the nut needs to be placed

  • Support style: Grid

  • 'Supports on build plate only'

  • 'Thick bridges'

  • 'Extra perimeters on overhangs'

  • Insert a 'Pause' on the layer where it starts to bridge the top of the nut

Designed in Fusion360, source file included.
Many dimensions can be configured using MODIFY > Change Parameters.

In Fusion360, I am using this solution to import CSV parameters while overwriting existing values:

The design is inspired on the male version you can order here:
