I finished my 3D Printable screw design! Excellent print ability, reliable for simple use, though the head is prone to strip... can't win them all.

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.
Torx or Robertson would probably be a better choice for head.
I mean, theorerically, but a phillips screw is much less complicated and easier to print bc less overhang
And given the lack of strength in these screws, cam-out is likely a positive (which is what the Phillips what's designed to do).
Never in my dang life have I seen a Philips actually cam out. Either the screw strips or the driver strips.
Usually both.
Robertson is a square. Rotate it 45 degrees and it has no overhangs at all.
