I finished my 3D Printable screw design! Excellent print ability, reliable for simple use, though the head is prone to strip... can't win them all.

If you wanna print it yourself, the model is here: https://www.printables.com/model/1348194-4n-threaded-flat-head-screws-and-nuts-10-32-equiva
Design to be a drop in replacement for 10-32 screws with a much, much higher pitch. These screws are extremely easy to print, is reliable enough that it can hold some weight.
If you wanna print this yourself, you need to make sure that the screw is sideways, so if it breaks it's no on the layer lines.
Using them in my own prints which had metal screws and they are holding quiet well.
Have you considered a slotted head? They will scale better than a cross head, which works best with a machined fit.
Do different fills have different effects on the sturdiness? I would think that a solid fill is the best, but my kid insists different fills are more rigid.
fuck slotted.
fuck fuck fuck fuck slotted.
fuck slotted all the way back to 1513 and the first clock maker who released those accursed damnable screws on humanity.
I would rather gouge out my fingernails and toenails with a dull spoon than have to suffer through another slotted screw that's somehow worse than normal slotted screws.
fuck. slotted. screws.
Wish I could upvote you more.
Any time I take out a slotted screw, I throw the fucker away and replace with (preferably) torx, but I'll settle for Phillips.
