Anti backlash nut for 2040 and 2020 V-slot (for 8mm ACME Lead Screw)

thingiverse

This is a modified version of the Openbuilds anti-backlash nut for the 8mm ACME lead screw that mounts on a 2040 V-slot extrusion, along with an optional version designed for use with a 2020 extrusion. The finished product boasts exceptional rigidity and straightness when the screw is inserted, making it effortless to align the lead screw with couplers and motors. This makes it an ideal component for assemblies like the Z-axis in Cartesian-style 3D printers. As of now, this model is still under development since I'm using it on my printer and verifying its durability. Visible print improvements have already become apparent. To install this part, use 10mm M5 screws; however, I found it necessary to add 1mm shims as washers to ensure proper height alignment.
