Hi guys,

just out of curiosity this question: are the nuts and bolts of Reachy project 3D printable?

If yes, do they work properly like the real metallic ones?

Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Cheers

Hi Erg,

No you can’t replace the metal nuts and screws by 3D printed ones.
If you manage to print correct ones, the result will not be accurate and strong enough, they won’t resist the loads and will break.
