Took some time to design and 3d print some replacement step nuts for the truck this past weekend. Also made a little install tool so the screwdriver wouldn't mark them up during the install. Shot some paint on them and installed.

They are still available from Toyota for a couple of bucks each, FYI
Yeah I have plenty and yes the standard ones are cheap from Toyota
Nice work!
Keep it up!
Hard to believe you guys can print them cheaper than Toyota

I hate these stupid plastic things. Has anybody found a metal option? If not I just may go with a threaded sleeve and a bolt/washer up top...
Not much cheaper but, easier
imagine all the cool things you could be printing if you weren’t wasting time on these.
i started to turn some aluminum nuts in my lathe then it occurred to me that Mister T must have a reason for plastic. My guess is that if you stomp on a metal nut with enough force you deform the bolt , which would be hard to replace... so I ended up using delrin. My reasoning is it is better to strip or deform a plastic nut than deal with replacing the bolt
We need a thread on 3d printing designs (you could start the trend). I am working on a few things and I would be happy to post the files up for those who could use them.
Edit:
I shouldn't ask someone to do something I should do myself: 3D Printing Parts for the 80

long tested, don’t do aluminum. It’s why I large then in plastics.
Can you make an extended set? I have sound deadening and the stock length nut don’t reach the metal screws anymore?
@NLXTACY sells extended in grey, black, and brown.

I just replaced all 4 of mine with new oem and two if them are already missing. We need a better solution. Who is going to make billet steps?
