I found this design works best for me taking longevity and ease of printing into account.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFilament insert diameter: 1.75 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI have tried 3d printing the whole pushpin in various sizes and options and they weren't  strong enough for multiple uses and the narrow pin part would often fail if your filament is a bit wet. I have tried it with a toothpick insert but they are more brittle and often have a larger diameter, making more visible holes in the cork board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #E14747\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you print large batches of the puspins print a test piece to dial in the X-Y hole compensation for you printer and filament!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant print settings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eX-Y hole compensation:\u003c\/strong\u003e This setting is used to dial in the hole size for the filament insert.
