Any adaption for M8/TR8 threated rods?

Hi everybody. I'm currently using the smartrap build version 4.6 with fishing line and M5 threated rods. I've some spare parts from an other printer here on my desk, especially a trapezoidal screw drive TR8x1.5 and I'd like to use it for the smartrap. Has anyone made an adaption of the design yet for 8mm threated rods?

Umm, if you mean threaded rod for the z axis, I believe that should work as long as you calibrate it.

I couldn't find a 5mm threaded rod so I used a 5/16" thread. No problem so far.
