Well! My face is sure red over this one!
Basically what happened to the model is I didn't triangulate the non-planar
faces before I saved it to STL. This results in intersecting STL triangles.
I just threw it up to show that a bolt could be generated easily in form-Z;
a quick and dirty demonstration. I didn't expect it to be undergoing any
real inspection. If I had considered that people might put this thing
through the paces, I would have put a little more care into it to make sure
that it would pass any muster.
So don't use this to judge the quality of output from form-Z. If anyone
would like, I can regenerate the items to something more robust. Otherwise,
I don't want to drop another download on the list members.
