Printed this last night from the metric version but also checked the stl for imperial and metric version in netfabb studio this morning.

There doesn't appears to be a hole all the way through for the threaded rod to pass through?

I could drill it out but?

Can't drill it out it's supposed to have a nut trap in the bottom too?

Is it supposed to look like this or have I got it wrong?

Your modified version would not be printable without support because you would be trying to print a hole floating in free air. The original and the metric one have a diaphragm that gets drilled out after (see step 2 in assembly [www.tantillus.org] ) and allows it to be printed without support.

Ok that's cool wasn't sure will reprint it as the one I printed also filled over the bottom too for some reason.
