Description

DISCLAIMER.

DO NOT USE BRASS NUTS IN PRUSA-STYLE PRINTERS.

Z axis will go out of alignment almost immediately. Some resistance and tension needs to hold the axis in place.

There are plastic version of this nut out there, and if you happen to have one, it should work.

Also TR8 brass nuts are just make printer noisier and introduce some backlash.
