Bed frame
I bought an mk3s from the voxel factory and during the process of building it a screw hole from the bed frame got cross threaded. I wanted to redo something so I unscrewed it and when I tried to screw it back in it would not go in all the way. Any suggestions?
RE: Bed frame
Best use an M3 thread forming tap (can be found cheaply on eg. eBay) to fix the thread. Contrary to a thread cutting tap, a thread forming tap is typically able to mold the soft aluminum thread mostly back to original shape.
A less high-tech way is to try to screw the screw in from the other side and see if the screw itself is able to reform the thread.
If all fails, you can always drill out the thread and use a nut ...

putting the screw in from the top worked thank you so much. I am working on a Arduino project so i needed this 😀 😀 😀 😀
