I’m looking to start keeping hardware for prints that need additional parts to complete them. A Pi case that I printed needed screws that I don’t have on hand and needed to go searching for some.

It got me thinking to keep a container of stuff ready that would get used often, but I don’t really know what to keep on hand. What do you have readily available?

    I got m3 (still using first batch of 50) and had 0 problems. I made 4x4 mm square hole (since I was printing it on the vertical wall) and it was perfect fit. After that I tried 3.8, 3.9, 4.1 and they all seem good. Insert outer diam is 4.6 mm and holes are always bit smaller when I print them like that. Maybe its also about the shape of insert or soldering iron tip, or Im just lucky hehe
