Summary
Removable bolts (screws) for the “shiny new” and “industrial strength” Artemis printer. I used the “Nut Job” program and adjusted the parameters as needed. This is the third print on this printer and it is beyond expectations. The following are parameters for Mikes “nut job” scad file.
/ [Bolt and Rod Options] /
//Head type – Hex, Socket Cap, Button Socket Cap or Countersunk Socket Cap (ignored for Rod)
head_type = “hex”;//[hex,socket,button,countersunk]
//Drive type – Socket, Phillips, Slot (ignored for Hex head type and Rod)
drive_type = “socket”;//[socket,phillips,slot]
//Distance between flats for the hex head or diameter for socket or button head (ignored for Rod)
head_diameter = 25;
//Height of the head (ignored for Rod)
head_height = 12;
//Diameter of drive type (ignored for Hex head and Rod)
drive_diameter = 5;
//Width of slot aperture for phillips or slot drive types
slot_width = 1;
//Depth of slot aperture for slot drive type
slot_depth = 4;
//Surface texture (socket head only)
texture = “exclude”;//[include,exclude]
//Outer diameter of the thread
thread_outer_diameter = 6.75;
//Thread step or Pitch (2mm works well for most applications ref. ISO262: M3=0.5,M4=0.7,M5=0.8,M6=1,M8=1.25,M10=1.5)
thread_step = 1.8;
//Step shape degrees (45 degrees is optimised for most printers ref. ISO262: 30 degrees)
step_shape_degrees = 45;
//Length of the threaded section
thread_length = 7;
//Countersink in both ends
countersink = 2;
//Length of the non-threaded section
non_thread_length = 1.8;
//Diameter for the non-threaded section (-1: Same as inner diameter of the thread, 0: Same as outer diameter of the thread, value: The given value)
non_thread_diameter = 5.75;
