Screws

Post by GXCVA » Fri Aug 11, 2017 8:25 pm

I have been looking all over for the correct sizes of screws and I don't want to buy the wrong screws. Can someone supply me with a link for the screws.

In addition to wermy's post, i bet you can find those sized at your hardware store, amazon, or ebay.

From the wiki: 3 sizes of m2 screws: 4x3mm, 4x8mm, and 6x4mm

- m2 is the diameter in mm (2mm in this case)
- second number is the number of screws
- the third number is the length of the screw in mm

edit: thanks for clearing this up Robochris. I made it overly complex :)

The middle number is the quantity. Example you need 4 m2x3 screws.

I purchased a box like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072NZY69F/re ... JzbTNCPZMA

They're so tiny it's good to have extras.
