About this generator
Out of 8 mm plugs on a Sunday? Print a handful.
How to use
- Set the drill size, the length and the screw size.
- Print them standing on the collar.
- Tap one into the hole and drive the screw in.
Printing tips
- PETG or nylon. PLA plugs crack when the screw spreads them.
- Printed plugs are for light loads in solid walls: pictures, hooks, cable clips. Use bought plugs for shelves, TVs, ceilings and anything that could hurt someone if it fell.
- Print with 4 walls and 100 % infill.

Frequently asked questions
How much can it hold?
Much less than a bought nylon plug, and it depends on your print. Treat it as a light-duty fixing.
Which screw fits?
A screw about 60 % of the drill size works well: 5 mm in an 8 mm plug, 4 mm in a 6 mm plug.
