Description

This model allows for pressing the M2.5 T-Nut onto the M2.5 hex nut without it wriggling around from under the T-Nut.  

  1. Place the hex nut in the printed item labeled HexNutSide.
  2. Either apply equal pressure with fingernails on the T-Nut or put the T-nut in the printer part labeled TNutSide and apply pressure.

I've had pretty good luck not using the T-Nut side, but sometimes it's a tight squeeze.  In the event using the T-Nut side doesn't work using just your hands, there's a groove there to use a pair of channel locks.

Only once did that not work for me in about 50 T-Nuts and I figure that T-Nut just wasn't a team player.
