[POLL] Screws

General mintyPi-related chat goes here. Share ideas, ask questions that don't fit into the hardware/software help forums, etc.

Does this bug you enough for the bezels to be re-printed?

Huh? Who cares? Send me my parts already!

I wonder if these screws are better? They'll come out to .20c per order, if there are 4 screws per 4mm order.

This guy is a half hour away from where I live. I could buy a set and expedite shipping to you if you want to test them.

Thanks, but it looks like that would be 0.20 per SCREW (4 bucks per 20 screws), plus shipping. Quite a bit more than I paid the Chinese supplier.

You're right, long day. Wasn't sure if less than a buck for 4 screws would be cheaper than reprinting.

Yeah, filament is actually relatively cheap, it's really just the time involved. :)

All this screwing around 😂.

Im happy as is. If it bothers me that much when I build it I'll order so different ones. Job done 😎

Thanks for the input guys. It looks like about half of you'd really like the screws to sit flush, and I'd much rather take the time to re-do the prints to accommodate the larger screw heads than have half of the people receiving them unhappy. I've already modified the bezel model and gotten started re-printing. :)

Alright, finished re-printing green, working on red now. Should only have set things back a day or two.

Awesome, saw it to late. It would not have bothered me as I could easily get new screws somewhere.
Thanks Wermy. I ordered green so, woohoo :)
