Instructions Designing Your Own Wooden Dowel Pins Set! Using the Following Customizer Options: nut_sides : Choose how many sides you want on your wooden dowels (min 2, max 24). For this example, we've set it to 6. supportless_friendly : Design wooden dowels with minimal material waste by optimizing their shape for printing without supports! screw_hole_length : Adjust the length of the screw hole on each wooden dowel - useful if you're building furniture and need longer screws. knurled_strong : Select how many turns of the knurl you'd like to create. Knurls provide an extra gripping surface for those super snug fits. knurled_height : Specify how high above the body of the pin this feature should protrude, making them more stable under loads when countersunk into material surfaces height : This controls the total vertical distance of the wooden dowel from bottom to top. nut_thickness: Optimize this setting depending on the nut you're using for these pins – a thinner diameter requires thicker walls. You can also consider thread gauge as per nut specs! diameter_2: For printing the smaller portion (usually head), increase its diameter relative to the main body. Diameter_1 : Determine the top diameter when designing this wooden dowel – just use this to establish which hole fits nicely inside what another component's width is!
