Lockable 1/4" Inch Pegboard Rivet Stronger Remix

*** Updated version and additional sizes coming soon. ***
- I noticed that the original version had room for improvement, particularly with grip strength for heavier pegboard hangers, so I made some tweaks that massively improve how well it locks into the pegboard holes. I also found that I had a couple of different variations in pegboard thickness as well as hole sizes in my workshop, so I will be including sizes for those, along with the STEP model for anyone who needs to make further customizations for their specific use case. Feel free shoot me a message if this note is still here and I haven't uploaded the models yet. Sometimes life keeps you busy.

This is a slight alteration of the lockable pegboard rivet by rharding13, with an internal filet and a flat side to orient to the print bed for increased strength to prevent bending between layer lines. I found that it was far too easy to snap the rivet legs when inserting due to the weaker orientation of the layer lines at the bend stress point. This reorientation should alleviate that problem and be far more resilient. The rivets use a small piece of standard 1.75 filament to lock them once inserted into the pegboard.

Notes:

This part should be oriented horizontally with the cut side of the rivet towards the bed. Due to the narrow nature of the rivet's interface with the bed, it is recommended to print this with at least a couple of brim perimeters which can easily be cleaned up post print.
