OPENBEAM Quick Nut Loader

thingiverse

OPENBEAM is an amazing new aluminum extrusion design that gets rid of the expensive T-nuts used on other extrusions types. It replaces the expensive T-Nuts with M3 sized nuts and bolts that are available form most hardware stores at an fraction of the T-Nut's cost. Because its a micro type extrusion it can sometimes be very tedious to insert the small M3 nuts. So we created Quick Nut Loader for the extrusions that can quickly be printed on a 3 printer.

(After a few uses it will start to loosen up a bit.) Simply insert the nuts in the groove on the Quick Nut Loader and push the nuts into the extrusion. I usually do a few nuts at a time. We printed this on our UP! Plus 3D Printer @ 0.3mm layers and its ony 10% solid. Protoneer Blog - http://blog.protoneer.co.nz Protoneer Shop - http://shop.protoneer.co.nz
