Plasterboard screw wall plug

Information

Plasterboard screw wall plug

This is a plasterboard screw plug that allows a normal screw to be used to install fixings into plasterboard walls. Drill a 5mm pilot hole into the marked position in the plasterboard, then use a Phillips head screwdriver to screw the plug into the hole. The plug cuts its own thread into the plaster. Then screw into the plug with a metal fixing screw.

Technical

Printed in PLA on a standard FFM 3D printer set at 0.2mm resolution, and without supports. The thread needs a little tidy-up after printing with the side-cutters to remove any strays, because this is definitely pushing the limits of what can be printed without support material.

Thank you very much. We are Sunday, everything is closed in my area and I am falling short of ankle. It's a great help. Thank you very much.

What a great idea! Thank you for posting this. I use the commercial ones and like them. I'll give this a whirl. Maybe in PETG so they will flex a bit around the screw.
