Customizable t-nuts by emonkman

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

I intend to use these to clamp accessories to my Taig mill, but this can be used to print t-nuts of any size. In the photo, I show t-nuts sized for a Taig mill, and also a much larger Bridgeport. The scad file uses aubenc's threading library (http:www.thingiverse.com/thing:8796). The default sizes are for a Taig t-slot, and all dimensions are in units of inches (sorry rest of the world...). Nevertheless, with some unit conversion on your part, metric threads shouldn't be a problem.
Note well: these are NOT intended for machining! Plastic is much weaker than steel, and it doesn't take a lot of clamping force to shatter the t-nut. Use these for lighter applications like holding down measurement fixtures or chip-guards.
