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?

    DIN912

    DIN 7991

    small plastic screws

    square nuts

    GB91 (split pins)

    aluminium or copper tape (grounding/EMI-shield)

    conductive foam (EMI grommet)

    plastic glue (solvent) & cyanoacrylate

      I personally prefer DIN 7380 over DIN 912 aesthetically, but of course 912 has superior mechanical properties.

        7380 do come in handy as you can buy them with a spring washer and washer pre-installed.

        If I care about aesthetics I use the DIN 7991 and dial in the tolerances to get it flush.
