Description

Used for a bunk bed that I bought used which had some missing bits.

Make hints:
- 100% infill
- I used a tap to fix the screw holes.  Highly recommend getting a screw tap for things like this.

They were $10 for 12, but only about $.10 to make, so…

Recommend you print in the orientation of the file rather than turning them upright.  They'll look nicer that way, but they won't be as strong.

If you have it, something less brittle than PLA would be better.  I used PETG. 

Obviously, also, 100% infill, as this is an entirely functional part.  Don't use it on anything that is designed to move, like a wagon where it's design is supposed to provide strength.  It's not going to lock as well as metal parts do, but it'll do just fine at preventing something from being unscrewed..
