michaelkubina / SpotMicroESP32

My take on a SpotMicro with an optimized design for supportfree 3D-printing. It utilizes an ESP32-DevKitC for the low-level control of the electronics. The heavy computation will be made by external devices, which in return have the power to command the robot.

Nutholes in lower leg counterpart too large #3

As stated in the description of the SpotMicroESP32-Remix https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4575753

The nutholes are too large, causing the nuts to slip. Review and reupload if necessary - both GitHub and thingiverse.

upon closer inspection the dimensions are the same as in the shoulders and everywhere else - 5,80mm. This is about 0,3 above the max. wrench size (5,50mm) and about 0,20mm below the max. width across corners (6,00mm). This can lead to the nuts slipping in their pockets, but by design it should not have happened.

If more people encounter this problem, i will take the steps necessary to update all the parts. But as for now, i will leave it as it is. This ticket remains open for this...

One solution in such cases might be the usage of square M3 nuts, with the same wrench size of about 5,50mm but a significantly larger width across corners (~7,75mm).
