This is a kit package containing both my 20mm t-slot optimized for 3d printing and my 3d printed lens holder made for 20mm t-slot (things https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2331488 and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2464765).
To complete the optical rail system you can use:T-slot M4 thread nuts like theseM4 nuts like these or these from a kit with different lengthsThese are appropriate 50mm lenses
The 20mm t-slot and the 50mm lens holders both print great and all the parts fit well. The holes on the lens holders are slightly undersized so you can tap them or drill them through (I started out tapping them and went to just drilling them and recommend drilling them out for t-slot and t-nuts - tapping them is great if you're going to screw them into a surface). Alternately you can use M3 bolts and the holes don't need any changes.
The bolt holes are countersunk to hide the bolt heads (see the pictures for details).
The armature shown holding the 20mm tslot in some pictures is this one from bornity
