This nut is used in combination with the coupler at the other end of the assembly to constrain the lead screw on
the X-axis from moving side-to-side. As such, it’s a good idea to check that everything is secure by gently pulling

on the lead screw to check for any looseness. Adjust the couplers and tighten the ACME lock nut more if you feel

any play since you should be able to rotate the lead screw freely but not feel any side-to-side looseness.

ACME lock nut on all the way

Check for play by gently pulling on the lead screw both ways
