Aluminum bed nut traps

thingiverse

I crafted this design specifically for my Makerfarm 8" i3v, but it should adapt easily to other aluminum print beds as well. The clever trap has a raised lip at the top, ensuring that it stays securely in place without any fuss. Although it might fit snugly, its tightness ultimately depends on the exact thickness of your plate; I optimized it for 1/8" thick stock. Unfortunately, I've misplaced my notes and can't recall which two STL files I used to create this design - both are now uploaded for your convenience.
