Fastener Set

The Fastener Set is a 3D printable design set that allows users to generate their own nuts, bolts, washers, and threaded rod. It provides a way to produce basic fasteners locally when a commercial hardware source is unavailable, using customizable print files rather than a single fixed part.

The fasteners are 3D printed using ABS plastic filament, with a total production time of approximately 150 minutes.

About the manuals

Field Ready develops manuals to support both the fabrication and safe use of its products. A maker manual provides step-by-step instructions for replicating the design, including materials, tools, and assembly guidance, so that makers in different locations can build the product accurately and consistently. A user manual, where applicable, explains how to properly set up, use, and maintain the product once it is built, helping ensure it performs safely and as intended for the end user. Together, these manuals make the design accessible to both fabricators and the people who ultimately rely on the product.
