MOLLE Nuts

Looking for a way to mount some stuff to the MOLLE grids in my Bronco, I designed a set of MOLLE nuts. I'm using these for things that didn't originally have any straps like a pouch or bag might.

The holes are not threaded, instead they'll accept an insert with a barrel diameter of 7mm and a flange diameter of 10mm. I picked up the inserts at my local Ace Hardware for a few cents each. I suggest that before buying the inserts, you print one of the nuts and take it with you to the hardware store to make sure the insert will fit.

I printed the nuts at 50% infill, to make them nice & thick. I've had a set of these holding up the fire extinguisher for over eight months now (at the time of this listing) and they're still holding strong, even after several thousand miles both on & off-road.

There are two sizes, based on the grids in my Bronco, and the two files are:

• mollenut.stl
  • Measures 1.5" x 1.23" x .47" (38.3mm x 31.2mm x 12mm)
• mollenut_large.stl
  • Measures 1.86" x 1.51" x .47" (47.2mm x 38mm x 12mm)
