     While looking at McMaster-Carr for 2.5 mm bolts, a 2.5 mm tap, and a counter sink, found myself getting annoyed with the price it was all adding up to and then I had a thought:

     What if rivets?

     A pack of stainless steel rivets from McMaster-Carr is much more affordable than all those other things, and I won't have to worry about them unscrewing themselves

     It's such a good service that there's no way it's not going to eventually come out that they are paying their employees less than a minimum wage or they are union busting or they source their metal from forced labor camps or something like a terrible thing that will make me have to stop using them

     I had to open up the inner diameter of one of the adapters because I didn't account for one side of the hub being wider than other, but it was only 0.6 mm so it wasn't as horrible as it could have been and now both sides fit

     Send cut send order arrived and these adapters look like they're going to work out well
