If you wanna print it yourself, the model is here: https://www.printables.com/model/1348194-4n-threaded-flat-head-screws-and-nuts-10-32-equiva

Design to be a drop in replacement for 10-32 screws with a much, much higher pitch. These screws are extremely easy to print, is reliable enough that it can hold some weight.

If you wanna print this yourself, you need to make sure that the screw is sideways, so if it breaks it’s no on the layer lines.

Using them in my own prints which had metal screws and they are holding quiet well.

    fuck slotted.

    fuck fuck fuck fuck slotted.

    fuck slotted all the way back to 1513 and the first clock maker who released those accursed damnable screws on humanity.

    I would rather gouge out my fingernails and toenails with a dull spoon than have to suffer through another slotted screw that’s somehow worse than normal slotted screws.

    fuck. slotted. screws.

      Meh, slotted screws get used a lot. What most people don’t get is the reason they have problems with slotted screw heads is because they don’t use a proper fitted driver that fits the slot correctly. You always try to use an undersized driver and are then shocked to discover you have problems.

      Don’t blame the tool for your poor choices. Use the properly fitted tool for the job.

      Wish I could upvote you more.

      Any time I take out a slotted screw, I throw the fucker away and replace with (preferably) torx, but I’ll settle for Phillips.
