Note that for a nut you also have to specify an outer diameter. The inner
diameter is implicitly given by the thread designator ("M12x0.5" in this case).
diameter is implicitly given by the thread designator ("M12x0.5" in this case). You can set the number of sides for the nut! So you can make hex nuts:
.. code-block:: OpenScad
nut("M30", turns=4, Douter=46, nut_sides=6);
To make a threaded hole (e.g. in a plate), an intuitive approach would be to
create the difference of the plate and a bolt. However, this part would not work
