Not very happy with the shape of “GN 506 T-Slot nuts to swivel in” #372

Closed berberic2 closed 6 months ago

With this shape it would not be possible to swivel the nut in.

Yeah, it need a tweak on the Bezier curve to be less round, the nut is from Ganter: https://www.elesa-ganter.in/en/ind/Machine-elements--T-Nuts--GN506#listtype=search&term=GN%20506

Modifying the intermediate point(s) of the spline (blue) we can change the geometry.

Moving the point from the corner will help, maybe we need 2 points instead to make it less pointy.

Could you try to tweak the point(s) position(s) to make it similar to your other model? image Screenshot_2024-05-02_09-04-49
