PrintrBot Plus 2.1 M8 Z-Nut Adapter

I recently acquired a PrintrBot Plus v2.1 and replaced the z-axis to utilize an M8 threaded rod instead of the ACME rod that it comes with. This modification enables it to operate at the same steps-per-mm as my PrintrBot Jr v1, which has been utilizing an M8 rod for over a year. Nevertheless, the spot designed to capture the nut and prevent its rotation, effectively creating the Z-axis, is not small enough to stop an M8 nut. That's where these custom components come in. They are specifically designed to fit in place of the original ACME nut with a cutout for a M8 nut to sit within. I've successfully implemented these on my Printrbot and printed two extremely detailed objects without any issues arising.
