If the M3x10 works better everywhere, that helps me.
The 1/4-20 on the Y threaded shaft was added. That should have been there, but I missed it. You can run a nylock nut on backwards, but I think the resistance created by those works against the fine adjustment you want. You want to be able to move that nut without rotating the shaft. As much as I hate added a new bag of hardware, I think it is worth it here. There is usually no need for a locking nut when you tighten two nuts against each other.
That is for manually adjusting the Z. Before the motor was designed, I used a nut driver on that. You can ignore if you have a Z motor.
