The models can be printed in any material you wish!
I printed them in 60% scale as i didnt need them to be that big, but feel free to print any size you wish! The premade G-Code is at 60% scale.
The model is a tool to learn the difference between leads, do you prefer alot of turning and high strength then one lead might be a good choice but if you prefer few turns and low force, maybe consider adding some leads.
Having more leads mean that you get a higher axial displacement for each time you turn the nut, but it also means that you trade the force for that displacement.

Good Luck, Happy Printing & Learning!!!
