Threaded rod M12 × 40: preview of the model

Threaded rod M12 × 40

3D printing1 partNo supports

A 40 mm piece of M12 threaded rod without a head, with ISO thread and chamfered ends so a nut starts from either side. It works as a stud for knobs and handles, as an axle locked with nuts, or as a connector between two printed parts with threaded holes. To screw it into a threaded hole, lock two M12 nuts against each other on the rod and turn the upper one – gently, as a printed thread takes less force than steel.

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.
