Replacement Violin/Viola Shoulder Rest Nut

thingiverse

My son finally lost one of the nuts from his shoulder rest. This has prompted me to make a replacement. Ace hardware has the nuts for 10 cents and there is probably 2 cents of plastic in each piece. They work great and save having to invest in a new shoulder rest. The Nut is a Hex 6-32. I had to upscale by 12% after test printing one. With no upscale pause the print at 7.6mm to insert the nut. The printer then overprints additional plastic to hold the nut in place. With upscale pause the print at 8.5mm. Tested on Kun shoulder rests so far and works great!
