Incra Flip Fence T-slot nut

thingiverse

This is a remix of 'Nut B' from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3851846, by MarcElbichon. I needed a T-slot nut for the back of the Incra Flip Fence, but I found the part designed by Marc was too large, at least on my printer, so I made it slightly thinner. Printed at 0.16, 100% infill, it required some light sanding with 120 grit on the long sides for a nice tight fit. Print as shown with nut recess on the bed and add tree supports touching the bed only. This results in a small, easily removable support in the nut recess. UPDATE: I've added a metric M5 version which is much better for the non US folks (me included). :-) An M5 nut is an extremely tight fit in this part, so that the nut is retained. Once you've removed the small amount of support material, the nut needs to be lined up and pressed in with a vice or metal clamp. Once in, it won't be coming out. Squeezing the nut in causes slight expansion and a fit that might be too tight to get the nut in the slot. Sand the long sides a little with 120 grit sandpaper for a tight fit in the Incra flip fence but loose enough to insert. BTW, I designed this piece to come up with a cheap and easy method to mount the Incra Flip fence to a worktop with some basic brackets, so that I could use the fence for repeated cuts at my mitre saw.
