 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

A very simple solution (that is virtually impossible with drilling) is to screw the self threading screw into a square hole. A 3D printer can create square holes easily, and it is the simplest geometrical form that allows disposal of scraped off material. Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

That's a good idea. I might give that a try. The little brass inserts hardly break the bank though. About £2 for 50 M3 or 100 M2.5. The attachment for a T12 iron was about £4.60. That deals with all sizes from M2 to M6. They are a much better idea for holding case halves together. Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini |
