Standard T8 8mm pitch to TR8 1.5mm pitch IGUS leadscrew adapter

Ok, the thing name is pretty long, but it actually describes what this thing is, so...

...here is my adapter to use TR8 1.5mm pitch leadscrews ( https://www.dold-mechatronik.de/TR-Spindeln-8x15 ) with the standard IGUS ( https://www.dold-mechatronik.de/Kunststoff-Flanschmutter ) nuts instead of the shtty chinese T8 8mm pitch leadscrews with more shtty brass nuts.

The IGUS nuts are really high quality and don't need any anti-backslash chinese low quality nuts.

You need to saw, or better, sand down (with electric sander for your convenience) the IGUS nuts to the form of the template attached in this thing.

Furthermore you need:

- 4x M4 16mm or 18mm or 20mm screws

- 4x M4 nuts (wow!)

- 2x M3 12mm OR 20mm screws

- 2x or 4x M3 nuts (wow²!) to press fit

- TR8 1.5mm pitch leadscrews which fits your printer

- IGUS nut like this ( https://www.dold-mechatronik.de/Trapezgewindemutter-RFRM-TR8x15-iglidurZ-R-von-igusZ )

- some dry PTFE lube for the screws for a good feeling, officialy the IGUS iglidur or drylin don't need any lube

ATTENTION:

- Recalculate your Z steps, the stepper needs to spin much faster because of the 8mm to 1.5mm pitch "upgrade".

- Print the stepper relocator!

At least 40% infill WITH a high quality infill in Cura, like cubic or something like this.

I wouldn't go with 100% infill to let the part work a little bit (there is no leadscrew that is 100% straight ;))
