I’m trying to put together a second order for hardware supplies for Openbuilds OX and have a couple questions.
Does it matter that I ordered low profile screws for all the screws or do I need a different kind for certain pieces, other than the M3 Cap Head screws?
SMW3D, in your build instructions in the listings for step 1, step 2 and so on, is there a difference in what you call screws and bolts?
Also, what size screws/bolts are used to put the spacer blocks on the gantry? In the build video, Mark says he used 10mm, but a 10 won’t even go through the spacer block itself.
I knew with ordering over 800 little screws, bolts and various parts that I would miss or miscounted a few things and I was right… This, trying to get everything and questioned answered before placing another order.
Everything is low profile but the 8mm, which I recommend you swap to 10mm instead. The screw is the same size, just a 2mm narrower head (Someone correct me if theres an area where a 10mm wont fit though)
800 screws? Sounds like a lot…I didnt get that many. Maybe 250.
Do you mean the Z spacer block that holes the wheels? Mine are 40mm
6mm plate, 6mm nylock, 10mm wheel,6mm eccentric and 12mm spacer
I recommend you swap the Z motor screws to 55mm instead of 65. They are a pain to tighten over such a length.
@Julius_Jahn The 800 was for everything, screws, shims, wheels and all.
The spacer blocks I’m referring to are the two blocks that go on the gantry between the wheels. It appears that it may require a 20mm length through them.
Also, on the motors, Mark shows that he taps the holes, but do you know what size tap I should use to accept a M5 screw? Is it also the same size I need to tap the ends of the extrusions?
@Brandon_Satterfield How and where are you sending it to me? Also, is it a link or a file? I’m not getting any notification anywhere or anything in email from you. Can you please confirm where you are sending it? Sorry to be such a bother, but I’m not very accustomed to using Google+.
