Missing Part

[AtomSoft]

Ok i think there is a mistake with quantity on my parts. Im missing 2 M5 screws for the belt axis... ill check on eBay its the M5 x 10

Most hardware stores have M5 x 10mm screws. Ace, True Value, Menards, Lowes, Home Depot, Wal-mart might even have them.

How many did you get in your pack?

To be totally honest i did not count but i did a count on whats screwed down... about 20... maybe its just me going crazy

Ill try homedepot tomorrow

If I remember correctly, there should have been 20pcs included with the kit. Any chance you used 2 on the z-axis plate instead of the 16mm screws?

-Edward

Ill check... sounds like a mistake i would make too

I did use 2 on that plate but it says to in the documentation:

Nope, you're correct. The two screws that hold in the delrin nut are M5 x 10mm. I was referring to the two screws that bolt the z-axis mount plate. Step 9, item #3, part SM-H13.

I also seem to be short 2 of these. As well as 2 x 3/4" nylon spacers.

I just counted what I used, and there are definitely 20 in use, which is what the bag says.

8 - for mounting the base plates to the lower Makerslide sections
2 - for mounting the delrin nut
4 - for mounting the rotary tool mounts to the Z axis Makerslide
4 - for mounting the x axis Makerslide to the gantry sides
2 - for the y axis belt clips

But I'm missing 2 for the x axis belt clips

I'll just grab some at Lowe's, but might need to update the BOM for the next run. The BOM seems ok for the spacers, it looks like I was just shorted 2 of them.

I was missing the two screws as well. I'm pretty sure the kid needs 22, not 20 as listed on the parts list.

The directions and pictures don't talk about the belt clips for the top, I think this is why they were left out.
