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.

Recommended Slicing settings
MaterialPETG (or PLA)
Nozzle size Max. 0,4 mm
Layer heightMax. 0,2 mm
Supports ON - Paint Manually ( not needed for the wings)

Installation:

Add the Hex nut on the back of the T-slot. 

Insert the T-slot in the slot like the following picture ( taken from Prusa asssembly guide):

 

 

 

Please let me know if there is any issue with the design or something does not fit. I will try to fix it :)
