Description
Robust and versatile tent peg for bolting down with a cordless drill. The swiveling top part makes it easy to bolt down the peg, while it is allready attached to a tentline. This is because it can rotate freely. If you have no 10mm socket wrench at hand, just use the optional wrench tool part Print it out of PETG and with 4 to 6 perimeters (concidering you use a 0.4 nozzle). A layerhight of 0.25mm worked fine with me. Add a modifier in the neck area which makes it to 100% infill there. Even if it looks strange on the print plate, it does not need any support. The little sagging and air printing does no harm. just give it a try 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media If you are not sure if it is robust enough for your needs because the neck area looks like an intended breaking point, i can attest it is plenty strong. My PLA prototype broke in the threaded area after reaching down to some gravel. It was made with 3 perimeters and forced down even though it didnt want to, just to make it fail 📷 Image redacted — claim this model to add your own media Credit where credit is due. I took inspiration from this well designed boltable tent peg by DStein , but since it needs support material, i had a try on designign my own
