Yeah I see wat you mean now oh well now I need to know in openscad is r1.8, which is the hole size for the parts does r1.8 translate to 3.6mm so if I change them to r2.05, it make them 4.1mm, also I know ill have to change the radius to match bolt head for a m4 bolt but the bolts at work but ill measure them when im there tommorow
