Giant bolt and nut M20: preview of the model

Giant bolt and nut M20

3D printing2 partsBeginner-friendlyNo supports

A chunky M20 bolt with hex head and 40 mm of thread plus a matching nut, made big for small hands to screw together. Children can twist the nut on and off, count the turns or build with it; the extra clearance of 0.5 mm lets the coarse thread run easily even if your printer is not very precise. Print bolt and nut in two colours – with several sets, it becomes a game where every nut has to find its bolt. Not for children under 3: the nut is a small part.

Tip: Print as shown: bolt standing on its head, nut lying flat, no supports needed. A layer height of 0.12–0.16 mm makes the thread cleaner. Printed bolts break more easily than metal ones – don't tighten them hard.

Estimated by our slicer-like calculation for a 0.4 mm nozzle. Your slicer may show slightly different values.
