Anti-Backlash Nut

thingiverse

This project required an affordable anti backlash nut solution, so I designed one compatible with 5/16th nut/rod or 8mm nut/rod, also suitable for 1/4th inch acme rod. After reviewing existing designs, I sought a unique alternative and created a nut trap inspired by my Prusa i2 build. For now, the part performs excellently when printed with added nuts and a spring, but eventually, it will be cast in aluminum.
