Could I use this for zaxis nut if I drill and tap the plate on the zaxis?

only with a trapezoidal leadscrew

There are others that know more about this then me.
But I think figuring out the pitch and all of the other stuff would be a large hassle.
Interesting idea though.

If you use that nut and the matching trapezoidal leadscrew it should work.

What i don’t know is how it would behave if the weight of the Z axis rests on the motor mount
wich is the case then.
