Does anybody have a good affordable supplier of T-slot nuts for the 20 x 20 aluminium extrusions? The prices from Melbourne suppliers I have so far are 90 cents each and $1.60 each or 50 cents each from an overseas supplier. I'm need a few hundred M5 or M4.

While I was looking for 20x20 extrusions I did notice that there are a couple of brands that are designed to take regular M5 nuts

Hey Rob,
If you do find a supplier local or OS maybe we could organise a group buy-in? I'm in need of a few of each for the ordbot I'll be assembling soon and also to play with my leftover Makerslide when it arrives.

Im not sure if you can get m5 nuts flat enough, but if you can, you could consider these 3D printed nut to t-slot nut adaptors

I haven't played with these extrusions yet.. do you have a link to the
specs and your preferred supplier?

Can you tell us the max/min dimensions of the nuts? (assuming the info
isn't in the link)

Is M5 preferable to M4?

Have fun,
Darren
