<p>This is replacement for Part 1115 on the Printrbot Simple 1405 Maker's Edition. <br>Printrbot sells the 11" x 3/8" Acme Rod, Acme Nut and 5mm to 3/8" inch Coupler for larger Printrbot Models. This will allow you to use those parts on your Simple Makers Edition. <br>This part requires that you pause the print when the nut cavity is tall enough to accept the 3/8" acme nut. Pause the printer, press the nut to the bottom of the cavity and then continue your print. This will embed/seal the part inside the modified part 1115. <br>I printed this part using the 0.4mm nozzle, set for 0.2mm filament height and only 2 perimeters. Monitor the gcode preview of the print software to make sure you pause the print before it starts to close the embedded area. <br>It is a tight fit, so there is no backlash from the nut shifting. To help press the nut into the part, flat and level, thread it onto the end of the z rod (before installing) and use the 3/8"th z rod to press it into the part. Remove the rod and continue printing.</p>
