Conical nails

[Met5]

Good morning

can you tell me where I can buy the conical nails that the elephant has on the wheels?

In metal or plastic.




thanks

I think Aber does some but I'm not sure if they're the right size. I've got some rivets for clothes which were used on my Cromwell and look great but they're too big for that application, but it might be an avenue to explore

This is easy to do if you have access to someone with a 3d printer.

the Openscad file to create this is

module bolt(){
$fn=100;
hull (){
translate([0,0,0])rotate([0,0,0])cylinder(h=1,r=1.75,$fn=6);
translate([0,0,1])rotate([0,0,0])cylinder(h=1,r1=1.25,r2=0.2);

}

}
bolt();

Openscad is free so if you know someone with a printer they can print as many of these as you need. If they don't want to do that I can e-mail you a copy of the stl file and they can just print it. (PM me your email address and I'll send it anyway).

Hope this helps

It looks little different - it a conical shape grinded to hex so the lines of intersection are not straight but arcs:

it's exactly him! wonder!

can you recommend an online 3D printing service where to get it printed?

Meng models do a cone nut and rivet sheet, set d, but sadly the wrong shape.
Therefore don't waste your time looking for them.

There we go, modified as requested, stl file sent.

There is an italian company advertising called fama3d, look up their website www.fama3d.it, they advertise no minimum order. Use initial order code of New3D to get a discount.
