The solution is to shift the X-axis holes by 1–2 layers along the Z-axis.
And that seems to work quite well, when printing from ASA/ABS at least.

@3dprinting

What if we make the grip feature horizontal? This almost works — the only problem is that the slicer prints all the overhangs at once, which causes some pretty severe sagging.

@3dprinting

Which type of grip features can we print on the sides? How about two fins on each side?

This might work at a larger scale, but at this size the grips will just snap along the layer lines.

@3dprinting

First, how do you make something that holds well and doesn’t degrade quickly? You add flexible fins. There’s a great video from Slant 3D about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzg_NXM-NRs

This works great on the top and bottom, but what do you do with the sides? You can’t print those angles on the sides.

No problem — let’s just use a cube net. We also add some angled pins for a reliable hold.

I ended up with way too many IKEA Allen keys. And this may sound a bit silly, but instead of throwing them away, I designed a connector system to turn them into a construction set for my kid. 🤷

It took a few iterations to get the parts strong and robust (prints well in ASA/ABS).

Would this be something you’d like to see on Printables?

Sharing a few design challenges in this thread.

I designed a bolt with a Reuleaux triangle shaft that turns inside a square nut.
It’s a strange bit of geometry that actually works—thanks to the constant-width shape.

Finally finished my new wireless keyboard. I didn't design the PCB (see chocofi), but all the soldering (SMD components), configuring the firmware, remixing the 3D model of a case, and modification of keycaps was part of building it 🤗
