I was looking at these and thought they would be a good fit.

Also, how did you decide on the 8mm ACME rod instead of a M6 or similar? Like this one...

I had to print the mount for the 8mm nut here is an example: ttp://imgur.com/a/WjSmz . I also printed a mount for a ball bearing to support the top of Acme Threaded rod.

I chose the 8mm Acme Threaded rod due to its common use in 3D printing. Using this and the A4988 driver I also get a nice 400 steps per mm.
