Drywall anchor with opening wings
Print Profile(5)
Description
This is a fully customizable drywall anchor with opening wings that make the fastening really strong!
Mounting instructions:
- drill a hole in drywall → press the anchor in the hole (might need hammer) → fasten the screw
Make sure your filament is not too old or moist, since that can cause brittleness and other defects with the model!
I recommend using screw diameter of 5mm or 4mm for general purposes
I have tested both PETG and PLA, and I recommend using PETG even though PLA works surprisingly well!
If you don't know the thickness of your drywall, you can use the included drywall thickness tester tool (5min print)
When creating customized anchors, keep in mind:
- Drilled hole diameter should be about twice the diameter of the screw for best results.
- The parametric model might break if you try to set screw diameter outside of 3mm-7mm
- if you encounter problems/issues with the model, please contact me :)
