Super easy customizer for creating bolts, nuts, washers, threaded rods, and standoffs.
Features:
- easier than other thread based tools, just pick a thread and configure details
- 950 threads
- five types of bolt heads : standard, cheese, countersunk, round, knurled
- three types of slots in bolt heads: straight, hex, or phillips
- five types of nuts: standard, wing, cap, flange, knurled
- one washer
- threaded rods
- standoffs
- supports bolt heads, nuts, threaded rods and standoffs with as many sides as you want
- supports hollow bolts, threaded rods, and standoffs (to save plastic).
- uses threadlib for smooth, functional threads that print well
- written with openscad, highly customizable
Instructions
- download and open in openscad
- pick a thread from the list
- select to show a bolt, nut, washer, threaded rod, or standoff
- change settings for that object (lengths, types, etc)
- render
- export as stl
Note that the Overall settings in the top tab apply to every object. This way you can create a bolt of a specific thread size, save that, and then switch over to creating a matching nut. You can also do things like substitute similar threads [maybe with a differing thread pitch] just by changing the Overall -> thread setting. The same is true of Overall -> sides... it applies to lots of objects like bolt heads, nuts, and threaded rods.
Supported Threads are listed here.
