Modified HICTOP Bed Leveling Nuts

I remixed Achoo01's ingenious M3 nut twister from Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1091018 I own a similar printer to the one described, but the gap between my build plate and Y-axis slider is noticeably smaller. To adapt the original design to fit, I narrowed the base of the nut down to 2 mm in thickness and supplemented it with a 1-mm thick hexagon that elevates the actual nut mount by an additional 2 mm. I encountered one minor issue: the bolt hole is slightly too small; however, I resolved this challenge by simply enlarging it slightly with a knife and it now fits perfectly. Thanks go to Achoo01 for sharing their groundbreaking original design. To everyone using these nut twisters, I'd be grateful if you could share your experiences – how do they function for you? These customizations were executed in Tinkercad.
