Description
Wall plug / screw anchor / dowel. Fastener for masonry walls. They come in many flavours, here is my favourite.
Instructions
Basicly just input diameter and length before you print. You might get better results if you print many and/or use cooling while printing.

Might gain some strength and durability if the whole bit is turned on it's side to print lengthways. (Due to how FDM printing works)
Spontaniously i would disagree, but I welcome anyone to make a strength test, and report the findings. The lengthwise forces are in the screw, not in the plug. In the plug the forces are radial. To prove my guesstimation wrong, simply use rotate([90,0,0]) in openscad to print laying plugs. You won't be able to print as many at a time though (due to how FDM printing works).
