When printing screws upright the threads are printed with the best quality but the screws are not durable because they snap between the layer lines.

So I designed screw models that are optimized for printing flat on the side.

The optimized screws are way more durable than upright standing screws

The Screws use metric ISO standart thread and the lengths can be customized in Fusion 360 using parameters.

The threads on the bottom and top are removed and the head gets a bit thinner.

Because of that the wrench-size is different and an open-ended wrench might not work as good anymore. But using a ring-spanner (as shown in the picture) works perfectly.
