Just got my kit.. build was going good until I ran into a bad Trapezoidal Nut 🙁
I have one trapezoidal nut that has bad threads. This put the breaks on the assembly today. Later on I'm going to head out and get a tap and see if I can fix it.
Apparently this problem has been going on for a while since the original. If there's an automated spin test of the trapezoidal nut then you need to increase the torque sensitivity. If the process isn't automated and involves a human testing then I suggest hiring some older school aged kids that want to earn some money and widen the test sample. It appears that there's a high defect rate with the trapezoidal nuts.

Check your spares bag. I seem to remember there having been one in mine.
Also, when you make suggestions on this user forum for improvements that Prusa could make to their processes, they probably aren't listening.

That was the first thing I did. I'll check again, just in case.

For sure my kit came with a spare trapezoidal nut. Being rather small it could be mixed in a bag with other spare plastics parts and you missed it. Just saying..

Mine were in the box with the stepper motors, if I recall correctly.
