minus-squareJelleWho@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up68arrow-down4·2 months agoTo be fair, if you don’t have the files. This is an easy way to make a prototype and fit it, and then if it fits you can order it in metal. This is a cheaper proces in iternating in metal from the start

minus-squareshalafi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25·2 months agoThat’s what has me grinning! I’m not replacing a Jesus nut with anything that didn’t come straight from the manufacturer.
minus-squareIlovethebomb@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up15·2 months agoI’ve actually flown Robinson helicopters, and there’s no nut that looks like this on the helicopter. So, probably a joke.
