    You don't want m8. You will constantly be fighting to get the bolts through the slots and threaded in the nuts and there is absolutely no need for that much clamping force. M4 or m5 will be just as good, I used m6 because I have a tonne of m6 fixings in all sizes which is important. If you use rs the ones linked or these are the ones you want but not in m8.

    You also don't want to be thinking about using anything 3D printed if accuracy and repeatability is what you're after.
