Screws

[Jason Kaufmann]

Hello again,

Just making sure that the screws are all supposed to be socket ones, correct?

Thanks

Also, I can't seem to find the M3 by 30 Hex Head screw on McMaster-Carr, anyone have a link?

HEX HEAD SCREWS, Click metric on the left, then you will see M3 and length etc. Not sure if this is the correct item though.

The correct item is part number 91287A024. I'll be adding this to the bom for 1.1 if it wasnt there already!

Sorry I'm not trying to hijack this thread.

Can you please go back over the BOM this week? I will be ordering parts this Friday for the eclips3d. There are a few parts from Robodigg that I can't find. Like 10mm linear rod supports. Can I just get ones from Amazon or eBay? I'm concerned about the spacing off the frame if I get other ones.

And a lot of the screws are listed only as M3x10 and that's it. Are they all socket hex head? And maybe we can pick another vender other then trimcraftavaiation? It's hard to find anything on there

And Can we just order 6 360mm hardened rods from misumi and cut 4 of them down to the shorter length? The rods are like $30 each but if you order 4 or more they are half price each. Or maybe we should change the whole machine to use all 360 mm rods?

For the screws, I'm not sure where you're looking but I highly recommend trimcraft if you aren't positive the other source is selling socket head cap screws.

And yes of course you can order longer length rods and cut them, but they're hardened steel so make sure you have a proper way to cut them! If you wanted to change the machine to use these longer threads, you would also have to modify the z gantry plate and get a new larger bed, plus making the printer larger may result in unwanted issues due to the rod lengths being longer and having more flex.

Are these screws included in the kit? Didn't see them on the list of items to buy.

Is BOM 1.1 available yet?

Yes the screws are included in the full custom kit, they are part of the "fasteners" subkit. 1.1 is a work in progress and will be released with some modified parts (mostly tweaks and bug-fixes) but the current BOM v1.0 will still work with the printer as the only part changes are really some bolt quantities very slightly (which you'll get the proper number of plus extra in the kits) and documentation/part number info updates.

Thanks for the clarifications.
