April 5, 2024
Description
Recreation of the t-Slot auto aligning incert sof the Prusa XL for different hex nut sizes (M3, M4, M5).
so Far I tested only the M5 and M3 it worked great. ( Do not worry if the winds break or bend while inserting, as soon as they do not fall completely of it will work as intended)
I would recomend to print it in PETG to give a bit more elasticity to the wing.
