Boost Customize the grip of your nuts and bolts 1. Main Configuration This section defines the basic function of the part Grip type: Defines the shape of the nut's "wings" Rounded wings: Classic aerodynamic shape and soft to the touch Number of wings: You can choose how many wings you want (from 1 to 24) Typically 2 (one on each side) or 12 for a circular knurled grip Center hole type: Determines what you will put inside the part Nut: Creates a hexagonal recess in the base for a steel nut Insert: Creates a calibrated cylindrical hole for a brass threaded insert (installed with heat) Nut size / Insert size: Select the screw metric (M2, M3, M6, etc) The model will automatically resize to maintain the perfect proportion Recess margin (Nut): This is the extra depth given to the nut recess so it does not sit flush with the surface Fit margin (Insert): Allows narrowing or widening the insert hole If the insert is too loose, increase this value Through hole: If activated, the screw can pass through the entire part from side to side If deactivated, the hole will be blind (the screw has a stop) 2. Manual Wing Adjustment By default, the model calculates the wing size proportionally to the screw If you want a special and completely customized design, activate "Manual scale" IMPORTANT: If you do not activate this option, manual changes will not take effect Wing length: How far the wings extend outwards Wing width: The lateral thickness of each wing Wing height: The vertical height of the wings Extra body height: How many millimeters the central cylinder protrudes above the wings Wing offset: Allows moving the wings closer to or further from the center Chamfer factor: Controls edge smoothing A higher value creates more inclined and smoother edges; a value of 0 leaves sharp edges 3. 3D Printing Tips Orientation: The model is designed to be printed with the flat base resting on the bed (hole facing up) Infill: A minimum infill of 20% with at least 3 or 4 walls (perimeters) is recommended to ensure the part withstands manual tightening force without breaking 4. How to install the nut or insert If you chose Nut: Once the part is printed, insert the hexagonal nut into the base recess If it's too tight, you can use a screw to pull it in If you chose Insert: Place the insert over the hole and, with the tip of a hot soldering iron, press gently until the plastic melts and the insert sits flush The plastic will solidify around the insert's knurls, permanently fixing it
