That Screw
That Screw. You know which one. The one that hangs out in the middle of everything, holds everything together, makes thinks work. Well, it's gone. Don't know where. Don't know how, but he's gone.
He's also got no family. All the other screws have families, but not this one
A week or so and a lot of people's time spent, all because of the tiniest little screw. Anyone know how to get the tiniest, most important screw?
RE: That Screw
Sweden. I have to order a 15cent screw from Sweden. Can it ship free in my next Paradox purchase? Is it at Ikea?
RE: That Screw
I'm not sure what screw you need. But all the screws are on the thing are RVS (non-magnetic), and this store in the Netherlands sells all the screws. (as long as they are RVS)
They have pictures and DIN names and metric codes, language should not be much of a problem if you've ever navigated an online store before.
If they want to ship to you...
Original Prusa i3 MK3S
RE: That Screw
is it the Bondtech hobbed gear fixing screw?
If so, it's a 2mm long 3mm diameter grub screw Stainless steel

Thank you Joan. Yes it is. I ordered a package of m3x2+ screws that hopefully will arrive tomorrow. Couldn't find any for local purchase and may need to file them down (as per Reddit), but they're on their way. I don't see any spares in what's left of my kit.
Not sure who made that design decision but maybe Bondtech should rethink that decision. Much like we should switch to metric.

I think you're looking for Mr. M3x2 ISO 4026. Also known under his retro alias DIN 913. He's not easy to get. His taller brother M3x3 is easier to run into. I think that should help you find a place in the US where he lives.
