What is Screw Generator by Koolm?
Koolm's Screw Generator is the most liked fastener tool on MakerWorld, with over 150,000 customizations, and it was featured on Hackaday in early 2025. It is an OpenSCAD script built on the BOSL2 library, wrapped in MakerWorld's form-based customizer so you never see the code.
Pick a screw, nut or washer, then choose the size: metric M2 to M24 or UTS inch sizes from #4 to 7/8 inch. Screws can have hex, pan, flat, socket and other heads, with Phillips, Torx, slot and other drives, and you set the length and thread options. The geometry follows ISO, DIN and UTS dimensions, so a printed nut can fit a real bolt and the other way round, within the limits of your printer.
It is free with a MakerWorld account and downloads as STL or 3MF. It suits repairs, prototypes and anyone who needs an odd fastener tonight rather than next week. Printed threads are no match for steel, so keep loads light.
