I ordered the square nuts per the AM8 BOM. Did not want to wait for nuts from China. I figured how bad can they be. Turns out pretty annoying especially at the corners.

I came up with these alignment/spacer thingys. Shove them under the loose nut, align the nut and then snug up the screw. As you slide in the extrusion the spacers pop out and hardly any more swearing at the square nuts !

I found that installing the flatter side of the nut toward the extrusion works best.

I printed out 5 of each hand and they seem to work pretty good.

Mirror to get other hand (left hand or right hand).
