(NOT compatible with 525 version)
M8 to 5mm and 5/16" to 5mm Rigid Coupler for the Mostly Printed CNC / MultiTool by Allted:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:724999
I tried to make it as thick as possible, to minimize breaking it while tightening the rod.
It should work for both M8 and 5/16" threaded rods.
The part where the rod fits has 7.6mm outer diameter. IT NEEDS to be threaded. I used a short screw to make the threads.
IT'S NOT SYMMETRICAL. The marks within the model indicates the screw position. If you don't place them like this, they will touch the Z Motor Mount.
The one that uses 2 screws is dimensionally similar to the stock version. I made the other one because I had room for a longer coupler, making it a bit more stiffer. Both of them work great.

Enjoy!
