Summary

Customized version of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:15633

Created with Customizer! http://www.thingiverse.com/apps/customizer/run?thing_id=15633

This was customized to be a coupling between the 5mm z-axis steppers and 5mm threaded rod used on a Prusa i3. These seem to hold really well and are small enough to still allow the rods to rotate - other implementations were too large as the spacing between the threaded and smooth rods is narrow. These were customized to use US standard hardware:

  • (4x) 3/8" 4-40 zinc plated screws
  • (4x) 4-40 zinc plated nuts
