A full set of inch and metric thumbscrews designed to press onto a socket head cap screw. Includes inch sizes #4, #5, #6, #8, #10, ¼, ½, 5/16, and 3/8 and metric sizes M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12. All have been tested with stainless steel socket head cap screws from McMaster-Carr. Has a delightfully swoopy rounded hexagon head. The design is fully parameterized so additional sizes can be generated by request. 

 

Recommended Print Settings:

100% Infill (at least for the smaller ones so the hexagon that goes into the drive socket is nice and strong, the large ones are fine with less infill but are pleasingly heavy when printed at 100%)

0.02 mm STRUCTURAL

Bottom Fill Pattern: Octagram Spiral or Concentric (I use different patterns for Metric vs Inch to help keep them separate.
