z nuts

Hi!

I swapped the m8 threaded rods with 1/4-20 rods. The problem im having is that the 1/4 nuts are a bit smaller and they rotate a bit inside the x-end traps.

If i wrap them with tape i can get a good fit.

Is there any x-end design for a i2 that uses 1/4 nuts?

thanks!

You'll be able to tweak the sizes in openscad, somewhere in the scad file there'll be a line that cuts out the hole, and you just need to make that number smaller. If it were me though, I'd print out a thin-walled hexagon shape that the 1/4 nut fits into, with the same outer dimensions as an m8 nut, then glue the 1/4 nut inside. It'd be a lot less printing, and you can keep the modded nuts if you change x-ends at any point, without having to modify the design.

great idea!, thanks
