MPCNC M4 Nut Expander

thingiverse

These accessories are designed specifically for expanding standard M4 nylock nuts to fit perfectly into the nut traps of the MPCNC. They significantly enhance the comfort level during assembly when using M4 hardware. Created primarily for the nut traps on the 25mm edition of MPCNC, these expanders should be compatible with all three variants of MPCNC. Fusion 360 files are included, allowing users to make adjustments if needed to ensure a precise fit for their specific M4 nuts. Two types of nut expanders are provided: * The standard nut expander is ideal for general use when building an MPCNC. Approximately 30 units will be required, possibly more. * The "Short" nut expander is specifically designed for the Roller and RollerM MPCNC parts. Due to the limited space available in these parts, a shorter (and slightly weaker) nut expander was created to accommodate this need. Eight of these expanders will likely suffice. **Caution: The short nut expanders fit snugly within the confined spaces on the Roller and RollerM parts. It may be necessary to carefully hammer them into place. Once they are securely in position, it's possible that the nuts might become irretrievable from the Roller parts.** The inspiration for these accessories came courtesy of mbef, who originally conceived the idea of nut encasements.
