M3 rivnuts can be press-fit into Technic holes!
>I’m using M3 rivet nuts and machine screws. The outer diameter of the rivet nuts is 5mm; the inner diameter of the Technic holes is 4.8mm. Fortunately the beams are made from flexible ABS, so the rivet nuts can be squeezed in and make a firm press fit. They can be pushed out again with a brick separator.
- fanf2 3y agoThat was fun to discover and I am pleased with the result! Oh, and the M3 wafer heads fit almost perfectly into the recess at the end of a LEGO Technic hole. The imperfection is the head is about 0.1mm too thick so it does not fit flush. https://dotat.at/graphics/lego-screws.jpeg https://dotat.at/graphics/lego-screws.jpeg
