Rachet with t-nut for 30 mm aluminium extrusion profiles

I wanted to mount some cables to my Prusa MINI's Z alu profile using something reusable - that's how this rachet was born.

The "T-nut ratchet for 30 mm alu extrusion profile.stl" contains a pocket for an M3 nut. You can fix it with a 15 mm M3 bolt.

I have iterated a simplier version with an M4 hole to use it with a proper T-nut.

Update #20200211 - new features:

• t-nut turns only one way
• ejector hole for the M3 nut
• countersunk slot for the M3 bolt
• more room for the hex key / screwdriver
• extra teeth for tighter lock
• smaller and 60° teeth for easier operation
• left side of the rachet will not overhang on the 30x30 profile hence allows easier installation even if something is already installed on the side of the profile
• extra "fat chicken" edition for even tighter cable lock :)
