Have anyone tried it yet?

I mean this one: https://shop.stepcraft-systems.com/lead-screw-nut-rg10x3mm_1

I'm having backlash on X axis.

Hi, I have fitted them all OK and even with no real adjustment they improve the movement as they are slightly longer, but replace the original ones. Even just screwing on the lead screw the slackness is greatly reduced, but to really fit properly the lead screws need to be taken off and each one set up (adjust screw tension) then put back, also as I had the machine dismantled fully removed the grease and now use the white lithium.
To fully replace you need 4 nuts.

Thank you Alan, I'll give it a try 😉

[edit]

Damn, shipping costs are high for a single nut. I'll have to invent something :unsure:
