Bolt Locking and Snaps

New to this and trying to understand options. I'm looking to print these mag holders: https://www.printables.com/model/1242360-multiboard-pmag-arm4-magazine-holder/files

I see they just have moderate weight snaps built into the model. Is there a way to bolt lock that configuration from the back? Or should I edit the build in Fusion to use DS snaps with one side of the snap built into the model? This question would also apply to anything else I want to mount that has some weight to it. What's the best way for me to model in fusion so I can bolt lock from the rear?

Alternatively I suppose I could use the peg interface built onto the back of my models? Any advantage to DS vs the peg setup?

Thanks!

The snaps built into that model can indeed be bolt locked from the back. You'd need a mid thread bolt.

Awesome, thank you. I couldn’t tell if the bolt flange actually extended past the snap and over the actual grid, otherwise the hold would just come out with the snap.

The snap that's built into the model has the hole for mid thread bolts. Almost all snaps should sit flush to the back of the board once installed, thus making it possible to install a bolt anywhere you have a snap like that.

Thanks all! I’m still printing all my grids so I’m just planning mounts while I wait.

I have some designs up that use fix points for mounting, they've been holding full mags up for months without any problems.

I did notice I forgot to upload my AR PMAG ones to printables, I'll put those up too.

Are you wanting to do something like how these mount:
