Plastic nuts on Z axis

Hi all,

I upgraded my MK2S to a 3S a while back, now I’m using the leftovers to build a new printer. I’m putting the Z axis together now, and the brass nuts are on my new printer. The Z axis motors come with plastic nuts, and I’m wondering if I can use those instead of ordering brass nuts. What do you think?

Never mind! The nuts are metal, not plastic.

Don't forget to lubricate the Brass nuts...
