This is a fully parametric thumb screw designed to turn any standard hex nut (M3 to M20+) into a hand-tightened knob. Perfect for any kind of project which requires quick screw and unscrewing. Key Features:Toggleable Cap: Choose between a sleek domed cap or a through-hole design.Adjustable Clearance: Set the bolt protrusion length to fit your specific project.Ergonomic Grip: 24-point knurling for maximum torque.Print-Ready: Designed to be printed upright without the need for supports (in most configurations). You can also put 0 knurl if you just want a cap. I recommend using 3+ wall loops for mechanical strength and PETG.
