M3 T-Nut 5mm

If you find this part useful, please consider leaving me a tip and/or commenting on how it helped or how I can make it better. I created this design after realizing that M3 T-Nuts with a 5mm width were exactly what my AM8 needed. The problem was that the extrusions only had a 5mm width unless I inserted the nut from the end, which wasn't ideal for me. To fit an M3 nut directly into the slot without having to slide it in from the end, you'll need to sand or grind it first. The ones I used have an outer diameter of 5.5mm. I've included a copy of the model for anyone interested. In the future, I plan to improve this design with a self-locking version that's compatible with 5mm slot extrusions.
