Just thought I would share these with you. I have printed a selection of T-nuts, blocks clamps and ramps, for light duty hold-down. Why (I don't hear you ask :grumpy:) 'Cos I ran into a steel clamp with an expensive cutter and snapped it. At least these might allow the cutter to survive.
They all fit into my 8mm slot bed with M6 threads. No, I did not 3d print the threads, I cut them and the nylon screws were made in China.
The blocks were inspired by HobNob's 10x20x40 from ArcEuro http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Workholding/Vee-Blocks-Angle-Plates/Stevensons-Metric-Blocks , but they are only 2D and the yellow ones are 6mm thick.
Cheers,
Rob
