Got the new nut is place together with the two new printed parts. Conclusion: no improvement what so ever.
Hmm, wonder what to try next? Any thoughts anybody??

That nut you see has been added as part of the modification. Which is why it says:

Supplies Needed:

Standard 5/16-18 Hex Nut
The (2) Printed Parts

and

Try your 5/16-18 Nut into the Inner to assuring it fits snug when it bottoms out.

Hi 3D-oolder

That was actually my printer. I have since then removed as much of the rust as possible and greased it up.

Looks like you have a lot of rust. Before you do anything you might want to address that.

Layer banding - Z Axis Anti-Backlash

2013-11-15T06:31:12Z

Hi folks
I see there is a good wiki on how to print to parts to prevent layer banding (Z Axis Anti-Backlash). In the wiki, the first picture shows a large hex nut on the threaded rod surrounded by four smaller nuts.

When I look at my printer, the setup is not the same. The large hex-nut is hidden in a layer of plywood. What should I do?

Should I rearrange my printer to look like the setup in the wiki and then add the two printed pieces as shown? Alternatively, should I just leave my printer as it is?

See the two attached pictures.
