It should be OBVIOUS NOT to print with PLA. PLA is not pliable, bendable, flexible. PLA is BRITTLE. Use ABS, Nylon, apparently PETG as another person tested.
Hi there,
I printed these with PETG, and they came out amazing. I tested one and put the pics fyi.
The only downside is that you have to have a 10mm bit (25/64" or 3/8"). As I didn't have one, I ended up using a 5/16 and just moved it a bit to make the hole bigger, and it worked great.
Printed with PLA. The tip of the anchor immediately broke apart from the screws rotating motion. The model isn't published anywhere public so I can't see if others have the same issue.
