This is designed to fit a 3/4'' LocLine adapter (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EHJO1Y/ref=sxts_kp_lp_3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=81796764025866896&pd_rd_wg=cLp7e&pf_rd_r=TNB63EZMQ1T8FHCTHT86&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B001EHJO1Y&pd_rd_w=hsKJu&pf_rd_i=locline&pd_rd_r=03c8c700-5787-41e6-98ff-0caebf178a4f&ie=UTF8&qid=1529512298&sr=3)\r\n\r\nAdam built his base plate using Delron and machined it with precision. Since I don't own a lathe, I decided to create one through 3D printing.\r\n\r\nKey advantages of using this over a metal bulkhead adapter are -\r\n1. Cable channel for routing and no risk of pinching\r\n2. Space for an M8 nut at the bottom of the plate; thread an M8 rod into it, replacing the loose stiffening rod used in the video to allow mounting in any orientation\r\n3. Cost-effective! You can find 3/4'' Conduit Locknuts in the electrical supply section of any hardware store.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGUIDELINES:\r\nYou can either manually pause your print and insert the lock nut or add a pause command to the script just like you would for a color change filament swap. \r\nFor me at .2 layer height in S3D, layer 120 was the perfect time to pause and drop in the metal nut.
