This 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.

- supermatt 5y agoThanks for checking - I thought it would be a strange thing to do given the product messaging.
