Screw Flattener

thingiverse

The most common screws (at least where I live) have cone shaped heads. This is problematic when you have a screw hole in a printed part that was printed vertically as the cone shaped head will force the layers apart and destroy the print when you try to screw through it. Ideally the solution to this problem is to use button headed screws. However currently I have a 3D printed replacement for a broken household thing that needs repaired and am under lockdown* and only have wood screws. So I made this so that I can use the wood screws without destroying my print. Maybe someone else can find it useful. *If you're curious about the reason for the lockdown, look at the date this was published. I don't really want to say the reason and risk this muddying up the searches for much more important, sometimes life-saving, models related to the reason for the lockdown.
