Note that you'll need some fasteners to install everything (see https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Fasteners+Guide/106 for all fastener types)
- 5x Mainboard fasteners - M1.6 1.5mm fastener with a 5.5mm diameter T5 head and 0.6mm thread pitch
- 3x Audio Board and WiFi card fasteners - M2 3.0mm fastener with a 4.5mm diameter T5 head and 0.7mm thread pitch
These arent ISO metric thread pitches. Why not use standard fasteners? I cant find these to buy anywhere online (even with different heads) - even your own website doesnt stock them...
EDIT: looks like im not the only one to ask - theres an unanswered question on that guide since Apr 2 asking the same thing.
- nrp 5y agoThis is most likely an error in our fasteners guide (which I wrote, so it's on me). I just sanity checked one of the M2 fasteners with calipers, and it does indeed follow the ISO standard 0.4mm pitch. We'll double check the numbers we listed for pitch. For the 3D printed cases, for simplicity we didn't design in threaded inserts, so you can use self-tapping M2 or M1.6 fasteners with approximately the right length and head size and it'll work.
- thot_experiment 5y agoI find under-sizing the holes a bit and hitting the screws with a heat gun before picking them up with a magnetic screwdriver and screwing them in works really well.
- mschuster91 5y agoUndersizing holes is just a brilliant way to ask for cracks down the road.
- pvillano 5y agonot if the screw melts the plastic, the same way heated threaded insert would?
- supermatt 5y agoThanks for checking - I thought it would be a strange thing to do given the product messaging.
