8mm lead screw adapter

thingiverse

I'm refitting my old Prusa Air with lead screws for the z-axis. There isn't enough material to catch the lead screw nuts on the plastic pieces that hold the x-axis smooth rods. So I designed this adapter to be glued in the opening for the regular M8 nut. The 4 holes for the screws are tapped with M3. Print Settings Printer: Cherry Pi Delta modified Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 50% Post-Printing I drilled the big hole to 8.5mm and the little holes to 2.5mm and the tapped them with a M3 tap. The adapter was glued in with epoxy, this fills the gaps a bit. It does its job perfectly. How I Designed This Designed in Sketchup, file included
