Adjustable printed Single/Dual Z motor mount

My newest revision (re-made from scratch) of a single/dual Z motor mount.
Learning from my previous iterations. so this is  technically v3

There's now an optional 2mm plate that goes below the motor, so the motor can sit right on it.

If you don't want to disconnect the Z coupler from the motor, use the model with front opening.

I don't know if there is a trick, besides hoping the t-nuts rotates in place to be able to lock, but seems to happen 50% of the time. So this has a little printed block in the back that stops the t-nut from rotating but still allows for sideways adjustment of the mount.

Because the t-nut can't rotate, these have to installed by sliding  from the top of the printer, it's a bit annoying, but I prefer that over a t-nut that doesn't want to rotate in place correctly

The four screws attached to the motor allows for front/back adjustments.

With this you should be able to reduce z screw wobble to a minimum, of course if your Z screw has a curve or the Z coupler is not perfectly aligned and motor is not perfectly level in relation to Z, you will still get some wobble.

If interested in Dual Z here is what I personally bought and installed on my printer:

PTFE coated Z screw, works without grease, must be used with a POM nut, Brass nut will probably scrape the coating.
