The local hardware shop is selling these at over $1 each for a pack of 20 for what is less than 10c of plastic.   I only needed one wall anchor so made this to get the job done.

It is designed to fit inside a 10mm hole drilled into brick or concrete and takes a 80mm x 8mm screw.  (should work with 14-18 gauge screws) This is the most common useful size for me as it suits a standard Australian brick and holds massive loads.

Printed in PETG vertically in orientation shown with no brim or supports in draft mode for a 28min print.    Works as well as the bought one.  Only downside is you probably can't retrieve them and reuse like you can with the store bought ones as the layers will separate when pulling.
