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.

    Actually a 3D printed driver might work brilliantly for this - the matching material hardness would distribute torque more evenly and prevent stripping, plus you could design a custom bit shape that’s optimzed specifically for printed fasteners.

      Yeah, those were my original thoughts. I think it would take some experimentation to see what works.
