    Greetings!

    I thought I'd ask here. I have the need to mount a 2040 v-slot on top of a second 2040 in a T configuration. I was hoping someone would have a recommendation how I can mount them? I am adding a longer 2040 in the wide configuration on the existing tall 2040 of my Ender 3 v1s y axis.

    Is there any STL out there I can print? I have T nuts etc. Thanks

    Honestly, I'd just drill a 5mm hole down through the center of the upper extrusion and put an M5x25 screw through it into a t-nut in the channel below.
