    Does anyone know by chance where I can get a spare set? I am looking for a spare set and noticed that Robo3D doesn't sell them separately. I don't even know what type of bolt it is.

    You mean the nut that rides on the leadscrew?
    What leadscrews/thread rods do you have? Makes a difference :)

    If you have just the M8 threaded rod you can pick those up at a hardware store. If you have an r1+ with true leadscrews and no coupler attaching it to the stepper motor, you can get nuts from Amazon but I can't find the same style. That means you'll have to print a custom adapter that is available if needed.

    Same is true if 5/16 threaded rods -- get parts anywhere.
    You just need to know which one :)

    I am probably going to go then to the hardware store. I bought these lead screw off of Amazon. It's 8mm that is all I know. Plus the bolt is called a hexagon spacer.

    Do you have a picture? It they are TR8 leadscrews...nothing you get at the hardware store is going to fit. The thread pattern is totally different than what a normal 8mm threaded rod is. If you got it from amazon, do you have a link to the product from your order history?

    Thread pitch is the only variable and I am not sure which those are:

    std: 1.25
    fine: 1.0
