@avxmw Thanks, good point. The drive was always a hex socket, sized from the thread diameter, and only 60 % of the head height deep, so a flat head gave you a shallow, oversized hole. I've added a Drive choice to the screw: hex socket, Torx, Phillips or none. You can also set the drive size, the drive depth (0 = no drive) and the head diameter. It's out now in layerling 1.125.0; reload layerling once to get it. |

Would it also be possible to add a sized washer for the nut and bolt? |

Thanks! Please also consider "slot" as an option so a coin could be used. |

@avxmw @sstuckey82 Both are built now and come with the next release:
@sstuckey82 if layerling is useful to you, a small donation helps me keep working on it. |

@avxmw @sstuckey82 the slot drive and the washers are out now in layerling 1.126.0. A screw also takes the square Robertson drive now. For a washer, select a tube and choose the screw size under "Washer". Reload the page once if you still see the old version. |

Thank you so much Stefan! Your turnaround time and the rate at which you are updating the program are truly incredible. It must be very rewarding to see how much impact your ideas are having across the world.
As for donating, I definitely want to help and actually tried to make one a couple of weeks back using a credit card as I no longer have PayPal but it didn’t seem to go through. I will try again after I send this.
Thank you again for your vision and all your hard work.

Slot: a fifth drive for the screw, next to hex socket, Torx and Phillips. It runs across the head as far as it fits and is a fifth as wide as it is long, so with a 13 mm head (M8) it is about 11.5 x 2.3 mm, enough for a flat screwdriver or a coin. Drive size sets its length.
Washer: take a Tube from the shape library and choose the screw size under Washer, M1.6 to M30. Outer diameter, hole and thickness follow ISO 7089, an M5 washer is 10 mm across with a 5.3 mm hole and 1 mm thick. You can still change each of them by hand.

@sstuckey82 Thank you so much, Sam, that's really kind! It is very rewarding to see what people build with it. About the donation: if PayPal gets in the way, Ko-fi takes credit cards directly, no PayPal account needed, and GitHub Sponsors works with a card too. But no pressure at all, your ideas and feedback already help a lot. |

Thank you Stefan! The washers work great.

Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
There currently is no way to select which driver (hex, philips, torx, ...) to use for a screw head when using the screw generation tool. For me it autogenerated a 11mm hex hole with about 1mm depth for a 20mm screw with 2mm high head - so totally unusable in practice. Also screw head diameter is not configurable either.
Head size should be configurable, together with the driver and it's size/depth - including none/0 for parts screwed by hand.
