Delrin works well for thermally forming a nut on an existing metal
leadscrew.  There are many you-tube videos.

Yes.  So do it warm.

By thermal forming I mean melting.

Here is a related posting, but one would not want to take the real

the videos on doing this on the actual leadscrew without damaging or
risking it.

And as others have said, no glue will stick to delrin, so the
attachment must be mechanical.
