Since every 3D printer has a different level of tolerance it can achieve, 4 different sets of files have been included. They are in the folders labeled 1 through 4 and have an increasing gap size between the screw and nut. To choose the correct set of files for your 3D printer, print "Test Print.stl" or "Test Print.3mf" and see which of the 4 screws has the best fit. On the top of the screw is a number that corresponds with the correct folder to use. In each of the numbered folder there are both "STL" and "3MF" files which allows you to choose which file format you wish to use.

Note Be sure to match the screw and nut based on their shape when testing the fit!

In each folder is a range of screw sizes, which are as follows:

  • 0.5 inch

  • 0.75 inch

  • 1 inch

  • 1.5 inch

Note: 0.75 inches is recommended since it is the perfect size to bolt two pieces of cardboard together!
