Topic: nuthugger opinions

as you can see in the picture i designed a nuthugger that holds a threaded coupling (i see things at work all day and wonder hmmm could i use that? hardware stores and me get along quite well)  the only problem is it only catches about a half inch of threads when the bed is at its highest...well lowest, that and there is a audible click now when i have z lift on and it lifts, havent isolated that yet, that is the reason i took it off. am i doing myself any good here?

Re: nuthugger opinions

Nothing wrong with that, but you really only need a few threads and the spring to put pressure between the fixed nut and the on inside your nut hugger.  Also you only need to keep it from moving in rotation. the sprint will provide the anti backlash features.
