Here are connectors designed specifically for 5mm output shaft steppers and 3/8 ACME threaded rod use. Custom instructions follow: thing-component-header 1) First, print the components as instructed. 2) Next, insert the 5mm nuts into the nut capture slots located at the bottom of the assembly. Proceed to start the M5 x 10 SHCS screws into the nuts, ensuring they are properly seated. 3) Clean and prepare the ACME threads if necessary; you may require a short section of ACME rod to perform this task. This is typically done by chucking the rod scrap into a drill. 4) Assemble all parts carefully and meticulously, taking note that precision is crucial in this process. 5) Once assembled, tighten the M5 x 10 SHCS screws to securely fasten the connector to the stepper motor shaft. Optional but highly recommended: use a couple drops of epoxy adhesive to lock the ACME rod in place. This precaution will ensure stable performance under various load conditions and usage patterns; however, friction alone may prove sufficient for optimal results with minimal maintenance.
