Background
I made this while working on Synthspace. I decided I needed my own custom library of Screws and Bolts for easy use in ZBrush / Substance Painter / Modo / etc.
It’s built as a customizable graph in Substance Designer.
It’s made in such a way that once you import it into Substance Painter you can pick and choose form a bunch of options and it will create an Alpha exactly to your liking! (Check out the bottom right section of the screen below - I’m picking a Paraboloid Head with a Philips drive, no washer and no indent)

And then I also just made a big graph to render out all the different variations for use in ZBrush and other software, giving me 160 alphas to stamp in whatever software I choose!
