Parametric T-Slot Nut With Option To Make Off-Center

thingiverse

I required a t-slot nut slightly off-center to adapt a metric pillowblock with 42mm hole spacing to English 1530 80/20 aluminum extrusion featuring 1.5" t-slot spacing (38.1mm). I also wanted to modify the nut holder profile for better fitment with the available extrusions. The source object served as a reference, but I created the .scad file from scratch. This allowed me to make changes as needed, although the result may vary in quality. The nuts used were #6 and #10 SAE Nyloc nuts, which can be easily replaced with alternative dimensions. The specified nut width in the .scad file corresponds to the maximum width of the chosen nut. An experimental version has been uploaded for 1010 series aluminum profiles, although I don't have any available to test on-site. Due to limited clearance, #6 hardware was used to size the .stl file, but a corresponding .stl file for #4 hardware is also provided for your reference. However, I won't be printing it out, and you may need to adjust the dimensions according to your specific requirements.
