Hardware

Mounting holes

The hardware is 3D-printed plastic (except for the electronics and screws)

All 3D printed parts have holes for mounting additional parts. These holes have:

  • Individual hole distance of 1cm.
  • Hole diameter of 2.5mm, intended for 3mm plastic screws.
  • Plastic thickness is 6mm in most cases.

Screws for plastic (PT-screws)

Mounting items on the 3D printed plastic should use plastic screws.

Plastic screws:

  • Cut into the plastic with a sharp thread.
  • Gets locked in the plastic and will not shake loose.

PT-screw selection:

  • Pan-head 3mm diameter and length:
    • 6mm, 10, 14mm, 18mm
  • Countersunk 3mm
    • 10mm, 14mm

Screws for metal

Mounting of motors and other metal parts should use screws for metal.

Metal screw selection:

  • M3 pan head
  • M3 countersunk (for e.g. motor mount)
  • M6 bolt, length 40mm?

Most screws for metal have the Umbraco or Allan-type drive

Screw drive type

We could unfortunately not standardize on one type of screw drive type

Drive types

  • Umbraco or Allan-type: plane hexagonal drive and tool (mostly 2, 2.5, 3, 4mm)
  • Cross PH (Philips type) is not used much.
  • Cross PZ (Pozidrive) is most common for cross-drive.
  • 6-lobe or (Tork)
