Short description
Parametric OpenSCAD screw generator for metric hex-socket screws: choose M-size, thread length and head shape – plus filament/material in the Customizer, so that shrinkage is automatically compensated. With an additional Tolerance Offset, you can fine-tune the fit.
Features
- Filament-adaptive: Material selectable in the Customizer (e.g. PLA, PETG, ASA/ABS, PC, PA, TPU) → automatic shrinkage compensation
- Tolerance_Offset for fine tuning (too tight/too loose)
- M-size (metric) + thread length freely adjustable
- Head shapes: Cylinder head / Countersunk head / Button head
- Hex key size: automatically by size or manually selectable
- Customizer-Labels: DE/EN/ZH
Print Settings (Recommendation)
- Material: depending on application (PLA for prototypes, PETG tougher, ASA/ABS heat resistant)
- Nozzle: 0.4 mm (0.6 mm for large/robust screws)
- Layer height: 0.12–0.20 mm (finer = cleaner thread)
- Perimeters: 3–5
- Infill: 50–100% (functionally rather higher)
- Support: mostly no
- Orientation: vertical (head up) for best possible thread quality
Assembly / Use
Use like a normal screw with a matching nut/threaded insert/tapped hole. If it is too tight: slightly increase Tolerance_Offset or print a short test screw first.
Notes / Safety
- Printed screws are not comparable to metal screws (temperature, creep, strength). Not for safety-critical applications.
- Shrinkage varies depending on printer/filament batch/temperature – therefore the Tolerance_Offset is intentionally included.

Short description
Parametric OpenSCAD generator for metric hex‑socket screws: set M size, thread length and head type — plus filament/material selection in the customizer so shrinkage is compensated automatically. Use Tolerance Offset to dial in real‑world fit.
Features
- Filament-adaptive: select material (PLA, PETG, ASA/ABS, PC, PA, TPU, …) → automatic shrink compensation
- Tolerance Offset for fine tuning
- Adjustable metric size + thread length
- Head types: cylinder / countersunk / button head
- Hex socket: auto sizing or manual selection
- Trilingual customizer labels: DE/EN/ZH
Print Settings (recommended)
- Material: choose per use case
- Nozzle: 0.4 mm (0.6 mm for larger/stronger screws)
- Layer height: 0.12–0.20 mm
- Perimeters: 3–5
- Infill: 50–100%
- Supports: usually off
- Orientation: vertical (head up) for cleaner threads
Assembly / Use
Use like a regular screw with a matching nut/insert/threaded part. If fit is tight, increase Tolerance Offset slightly (or print a short test screw first).
Notes / Safety
- Printed screws are not equivalent to metal fasteners. Avoid safety‑critical or high‑load applications.
- Shrink varies with printer and settings; Tolerance Offset is included for calibration.

Short description
OpenSCAD parametric screw generator: adjustable metric M size, thread length and head type, and in the Customizer filament/material can be selected, the model will automatically compensate for shrinkage according to the material. Additionally, there is a Tolerance Offset for fine-tuning the fit.
Features
- **Material adaptive:** selectable PLA/PETG/ASA/ABS/PC/PA/TPU, etc. → automatic shrinkage compensation
- Tolerance Offset: fine-tune too tight/too loose
- Adjustable size and length (metric)
- Head type: Cylinder head / Countersunk head / Button head
- Hex socket: automatic matching or manual selection
- Customizer trilingual (German/English/Chinese)
Print Suggestions
- Nozzle: 0.4mm (0.6mm available for large sizes)
- Layer height: 0.12–0.20mm
- Perimeters: 3–5
- Infill: 50–100%
- Support: usually not needed
- Orientation: recommended to print vertically (cleaner threads)
Use/Assembly
Use with matching nuts/threaded inserts/threaded holes. If too tight, slightly increase the Tolerance Offset. It is recommended to print a short sample first for confirmation.
Notes/Safety
- 3D printed screws are not equivalent to metal fasteners and are not recommended for safety-critical or high-load applications.
- Shrinkage is related to printing conditions, and the Tolerance Offset is used for final calibration.
