Ultimaker leadscrew nut tr8*8 adapter

To utilize an upgraded lead screw assembly in your Ultimaker 1's Z-axis platform, follow this customized build procedure. You will need a new lead screw and its accompanying linear guide rail system to mount onto your existing printer setup. For the purposes of this installation guide, we'll focus on installing a standard TR8*8 leadscrew that pairs perfectly with a 4-hole nut. Start by identifying the required parts: 1. The TR8*8 leadscrew (a durable metal rod with an external diameter of about 10mm). 2. A 4-hole mounting bracket designed for Z-axis operation in Ultimaker printers. 3. Threaded M8 screw pack (usually included, however be prepared if you do not have any spares). The procedure consists of multiple parts: disassemble your printer; remove existing nuts from the original leadscrew setup by loosening them until completely removed using a 10mm socket or hex wrench - being mindful of the orientation for future assembly.
