Hex nut M6: preview of the model

Hex nut M6

3D printing1 partNo supports

A printed M6 hex nut with ISO metric thread, 10 mm across flats and 5.2 mm high – the size of a standard steel nut. It fits metal M6 bolts and threaded rods, stands in for a lost nut, or holds parts where steel would rust or scratch. Both faces are countersunk, so it starts on the thread from either side and you don't have to check which way round it goes.

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.
