Yes. The object of the game, for me, would be to have metal threads as opposed to threaded plastic. 4mm material thickness doesn't allow for very much thread engagement. I'd want metal threads for strength & durability.
I agree, metal threads are way better. I considered your proposal but...
- the nuts's height is standardized, and it doesn't match the height of my layer.
- you need a good glue, since metal doesn't adhere well to acrylics
- glue may melt the acrylics
- when I fasten the screws, the nut may break off, this is what I fear the most..
