This Thing Has Been Outdated And Replaced With This Instead:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1259672 Replacement Library For The OpenSCAD MCAD Nuts_and_Bolts SCad Library See Also This Improved Nut And Bolt Library Import This Library Into Your OpenSCAD Design: include nmBolt(m3); You Will Need To Use Import Instead Of Use Because Of The Lookup Functions. Be Sure To Comment Out The SimpleDemo Line Too. This Library Provides Metric Series Fasteners In Various Sizes Including 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, And 12. Additional Sizes Can Be Added With Ease. Fasteners Included Are: M Bolts With Hex Socket Heads M Nuts - Only Standard Versions Available At This Time M Washers T-Slot Cutouts For Laser Cutting Perpendicular Joints This Is Not A Drop In Replacement For The MCAD Library, But Rather An Expanded Version With More Features. OpenSCAD 2015.03-2 Crashes Severeely If You Try To Call An M Bolt Size That Does Not Exist Due To A Bug In The Lookup Function. A Bug Report Has Been Filed And Should Be Fixed In The Next Release: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/1528 Custom Section Usage: Call The Module By Passing Arguments Such As These: mBolt( size = MX, len = N, center = True/false, // Default Centered On Shaft style = "socket"/"hex", // Defaults To Socket Drive Style tolerance = N); mNut(size = mX, center = true/false // Nut Is By Default Centered) tolerance = n); mWasher( size = MX, tolerance = N); This Module Creates A T-Shaped Slot For Perpendicular Joints. It Should Make It Easy To Slot In A Nut Without Allowing The Nut To Rotate, Making Tightening Easier. tSlot( size = MX, material = N, // Thickness Of Material In Mm Default 3 len = N, // Total Length Of Bolt Desired, Default 15 tolerence = N); Examples: mWasher(m10) mNut(m3) mBolt(m3) mBolt(size=m3 ,style="hex") mBolt(m3 ,tolerance=0.02, center=false , style="hex", len=15) tSlot(size=m3,bolt = 10); Demos: tSlotDemo(); demo() ;simpleDemo(); Notes This Library Is An Expanded Version With More Features Not A Drop In Replacement For The MCAD. *Use A Tolerance Value Starting With A Plus (+.X.X) To Use The Bolt And Nut Modules For Cutting Holes Or Slots The Called m bolt Size Does Not Exist, Leading To Crashes In OpenSCAD 2015.03-2 Due To An Error In The Lookup Function.
