Default 3D Printing and fastners

While more are doing 3D printing, and in fact the latest 16th scale Churchill kit uses similar technology

Thought this article interesting for determining best fasteners for material

The main theme from the article is there is just no replacement for metal engaged threading for strength and reliability when purposed for frequent removal/attachment.

Thanks for sharing! Interesting that metal threads work best. Was hoping printed threads would be viable.
