Alright, so those of you who followed my last post, I recently ordered a Tr8*8 acme Leadscrew, flexible couplings and Anti-backlash nut and they finally came it. I have a prusa i3x printer which came with horrible 5mm lead screws which cause serious banding. The thing I noticed when I got the stuff and I knew this before I ordered it, that the nuts are very wide and will not fit due to the smooth z rods. My plan is to reprint the c carriage parts, as well as the z motor mounts with the z smooth rof constraints im order to fit the thicker part. Im curius if anyone else has performed similar upgraded and did a similar solution to get the parts to fit. I have seen some forums where the top of the z screws should be restricted and some that should not. I picked up some 8mm bearings just in cases should I use them to constrain my threaded rods. Would
This be beneficial or would it be more damaging to the print quality? If anyone here has gone through similar situations and care to explain things that worked well for them and things that didn't tbat would be awesome!
