Hi, they’re 8mm threaded rods, I’d hold off until I’ve got something which works but once I do, more than happy to modify the design to support imperial (inch) based threaded rods. Can’t do that for all screws / bolts as it would take forever but it’s easy for the main drive rods. Hang on though until I’ve printed and tested as the design may change.

Trying to source parts in the US. Would something like this work? How long are the rods? <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Printer-Screw-Copper-Linear-Golden/dp/B07BBRQ6ZV/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1523222209&sr=8-5&keywords=8mm+threaded+rods" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Printer-Screw-Copper-Linear-Golden/dp/B07BBRQ6ZV/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1523222209&sr=8-5&keywords=8mm+threaded+rods</a>

8mm threaded rod in the centre with printed spiral sleeves over the rod.

Looking great! What material are you thinking for the threaded rods? Metal or are you going to try and print them?
