CNC Router Parts no longer offers the original 5-Start ACME nut.  They do however, sell a replacement nut. Get the new nut here.

The problem is that this new nut us a little larger than the original and if installed it will come in contact with the Y-beam.

To solve this problem you must add a 1/8 shim when assembling the Y-carriages.

 

Y-carriage Modifications

Chapter 5, Step 7

Here you are asked to attach the supports to the main frame components. You still do this but you need to place a 1/8" shim between the supports and the frame components.  The shim is made from piece of   1" x 2" x 1/8" steel. 

 

Use the supports as a guide to drill the two holes needed. You will need four shims for each carriage. That's eight shims total.

 

Tip:

You can also make the shims out of aluminum.

Sandwich the shims in-between the supports and the main frame components when you assemble them in step 7.

 

Here is a PDF of the assembly process submitted by a customer.

Y Motor Mount Changes

Chapter 9, Y Motor Mount Section

Since you have effectively moved the Y-carriage ACME nut over 1/8" towards the outside of each side of the CNC, You need to do the same with the motor mounting holes, bearing, and clearance holes. 

The following contains the new Y Motor Mount drawing files.

While the X and Z axis don't require shims, you should make the following changes to the X and Z motor Mounts.
