Where to get hot bed spacers?

Hi,

I'm looking for the metal hot bed spacers for my Mk3s+. They are only £1.29 each but the postage is £11 (!!!!!!). Stuff that, so anybody know of another route to buy in the UK. £11 delivery for a few spacers is insane.

RE: Where to get hot bed spacers?

The spacers appear, to me, to be very generic items.  Any well-stocked hardware store should have them.

I would suggest that you use a complete set of one brand, however, and not mix original with replacement.  I would think, intuitively, that the variation in height of the spacers is more significant than overall fractional mm absolute height.

Thanks. My nearest "well stocked hardware store" is around two hours each way 🙂 I do agree that replacing the lot is the way to go though and to recalibrate the Prusa.

I'll keep searching the Internet in the UK.

Best wishes

Finally worked to use stand offs in the search , not spacer. That shows lots of options and ordered 10 off eBay for a few pounds.
