Z nut holder with integrated EZ gimbal

thingiverse

I liked the original design but there was one issue that caught my attention. When the Z holder was moved too close to the extruder, it slipped into the extrusion at an angle. To resolve this problem, I remixed the design and added a small support on both sides so it no longer slips into the extruder. As I was making these changes, I decided to add thingirob's impressive EZ gimbal for extra stability. I printed the revised model and tested it thoroughly. It performed exactly as expected. Later, I calculated the dimensions with stock Y carriage in mind. Unfortunately, using the stock carriage would cause the nuts to collide with the bearings. To address this issue, I uploaded a version of the design without the EZ gimbal for those who don't have thingirob's upgraded Y carriage.
