Summary

This is one of those big hex bolts except its a heptagon. Totally unnecessary but I just think it looks cool (and the heptagon doesn't get enough love). I guess you could put stuff in it (the bolt is hollow), but I think the bolt is so cool that people will steal the bolt, so you'd lose the bolt along with everything else in it. You can also stack two of the large hep-nuts to make a pen holder.

Confession: This is really just an M12 bolt that's been scaled up A LOT. The bolt head and the nut both stand 40mm tall. The shaft part of the bolt is 140mm tall. The blue bolt is actually scaled down to 62.5% and is 25mm tall.

Should be an easy print. I hardly adjusted the settings of my printers (Prusa mk3s) and just stuck with a layer height of 0.20mm.
