New Wing Knob geometry
The new geometry for the Wing model has also been adopted in this M6 version
Compared to previous versions, the new design offers better dimensional efficiency, greater structural robustness, an improved size-to-grip ratio, and a cleaner, more consistent print
This new shape will also be progressively adopted in other collections already published
Unlike previous collections, in this M6 version, I have gathered all variants within a single print profile with named plates. This makes it easier to identify the desired model and quickly choose the most suitable size by consulting the dimensioned images in the gallery
Each model is available in three sizes
- Small
- Medium
- Large
for a total of 12 different variants
Compatible with both nuts and bolts
All knobs have been designed for use in two configurations
Female Version
By inserting an M6 nut into the internal hex socket
Ideal for
- threaded rods
- screws
- tie rods
- adjustable systems
Male Version
By directly inserting an M6 bolt into the knob
Ideal for creating
- tightening screws
- adjustment knobs
- custom locking systems
Double cap included
Each model includes two closing caps
Perforated cap
For use as a female through-knob
Closed cap
For use as a male knob with integrated bolt
The caps are designed with a screw-on attachment, in order to
- prevent breakage of the teeth during assembly and disassembly
- allow repeated opening and closing
- ensure a more stable and effective closure
- achieve a clean and professional finish
During the first assembly, slight pressure may be required to properly engage the cap into its dedicated slot
After the first assembly and disassembly, operation typically becomes smoother
If you plan to use only one of the two configurations, you can simply avoid printing the unnecessary cap
Optimized nut seat
The internal seat is designed to accommodate M6 nuts with a 10 mm hex
Features
- hex seat depth: approximately 7 mm
- Lower through-hole: Ø6.25 mm
The depth of the seat allows for the use of not only standard nuts but also
- self-locking nuts with nylon insert (Nyloc)
- prevailing torque type self-locking nuts
- other equivalent locking systems
Recommended assembly
The hex seat has been deliberately designed with a tight tolerance to prevent the nut from rotating or slipping out during use
Female Configuration
Insert the nut into the seat and use a screw from the opposite side to fully pull it to the bottom of the seat
To facilitate the operation, it may be helpful to tighten the screw with a wrench
Male Configuration
Insert the bolt into the knob and thread an external nut onto the threaded part to pull the bolt completely into the seat until it stops
Continue tightening until the bolt is perfectly secured
This procedure ensures correct hardware positioning and maximum mechanical resistance
Ideal for
- Workshop
- DIY
- CNC
- 3D Printer
- Jigs and fixtures
- Clamps
- Modeling
- Electronics
- Adjustable equipment
- Custom mechanical projects
