I have another idea for this problem.

Another Lead Screw Nut Stripped Out

For those interest, here are some pics of the NUT and the screw. The screw looks perfectly fine. [20260331_151046][20260331_150531] [20260331_151022] [20260331_151029] [20260331_151032] [20260331_151043]

I want to use standard nuts via an adapter.

Here’s my idea

I haven’t had any problems so far and haven’t had to remove anything.

Therefore, I don’t know the dimensions of the original nut.

Could someone please send me the dimensions?

Another Lead Screw Nut Stripped Out

I think Jerry is conflating resolution with precision - higher TPI is higher resolution, and technically higher TPI also correlates with less backlash and therefore better precision, but to your point, precision can be achieved with high fit precision regardless of TPI.

That should work at least for the front 2 leadscrews that you can easily access from the top but you’ll have to unscrew a bit from the bottom to install it on the rear leadscrew. And if you have to do that for the rear, you’ll have access to the others defeating the need to change the locations of the nuts. Do you use the original failed nuts to screw your top screws into or do you place a spacer below the new nut secured from the bottom? Have you drilled 2 new holes (or elongated the holes) …

I’ve seen all that, but I want to solve it differently.
