Lockable Insert for Honeycomb Storage Wall / HSW / Max. Load 15kg

Hang heavy equipment on your Honeycomb Storage Wall with this inserts. The insert can withstand forces up to 15 kg and does not detach from the HSW.

I have made two variants, M4 and M5.

Update:

- 04.03.2024 nut M3 added, can only be locked from the back.

Note:

- Use the nut with slot and a screwdriver if the nut with hexagon socket is getting round. - The maximum force depends on quality and accuracy of your print, your printer, the used material,load type and all possible tolerances. Also on your Honeycomb Storage Wall. - If the force is exceeded once and the insert has been torn out, the force of 15 kg can no longer be reached. However, the insert should still be functional. - You always need the exact screw length so that the screw does not protrude more than 1 mm beyond the nut. Otherwise the insert cannot be locked properly. If the insert can also be locked from the rear, then the nut with the 3 mm hexagon socket can also be used for the M4 insert. This means that longer screws can also be used.
