Just a basic z axis coupler from the 5mm stepper motor to the 8mm threaded rod.
They do away with the dodgy sprung couplers the printer shipped with.
My original design had shorter screws with recesses for the head and the nut; the part split at the base of the recesses. I re-designed it for longer screws which fit the whole thickness of the part... fingers-crossed it's a slight improvement (working well with no signs of failure so far).
