Print In Place Trapped Nut

prusaprinters

<p>This is a simple nut that's trapped on a double headed bolt. I designed this in Fusion 360 with a 0.5-0.6mm tolerance.</p> <p>I included a small test part and both F3D files along with the actual trapped nut STL file.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Anet A8</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.2</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>20%</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Print supports only under the nut, don't print it in the threads unless you're using dissolvable filament for the supports. </p> On my screenshot of Cura, the grey boxes are support blocker. I enabled support everywhere, with a Concentric pattern, 0° overhang angle, 0.3mm Z distance, Support Interface enabled, and a 0.6mm Interface thickness. Use support blocker to block out the threads and anywhere else other than under the nut where there's supports. <h3>Instructions</h3> <p><strong>How to Make:</strong></p> <h4>Step 1:</h4> <p>Print test part first so you know the bolt fits.</p> <h4>Step 2:</h4> <p>Print full bolt.</p> <h4>Step 3:</h4> <p>Remove supports.</p> <h4>Step 4:</h4> <p>There is no Step 4, you're done!</p> </div></p></p> Category: Toys & Games
