Is an Anti Backlash Nut needed? 🇬🇧
I have looked at many CNC designs and they all seem to use an Anti-Backlash nut on the lead screws. What are your thoughts on this?
Here is one as an example - little pricey however. Aliexpress has them cheaper.

Hi Dewalt Guy, no there is actually no need for one, I remember Tops saying he designed certain parts to have friction for control of the backlash.
Topsie is using a standard t-nut with a 3d printed tnut on the other side sandwiching together to create friction and eliminate backlash (I believe if I am remembering his assembly video right)
Perfect thank for reply. I saw he using the printer tnut on the backside. Make sense how that would provide the friction.
