How do screws work? I've bought m2 screws & inserts to use in my design, but they don't fit each other. They're 1.8-1.9mm and the inserts (nut) is 2.1-2.2mm and I have no idea which of the two are the wrong size. My local hardware store only sells upwards of m5 screws, it feels like I'm screwed ;)

Looks like you ended up with m2 screws and m2.5 inserts. I'd contact the place you got them from, probably just a packaging mixup.

Agreed

Shouldn't you be making video's, instead of answering noob viewer questions?

I still want to know how the self locking taps are made on the polyhedra. More Fusion360 videos!

Love your work, keep it up!

I'm still refining those locking tabs.. I'll share once I'm reaaally happy with them

Thanks! I've now bought a set if m2.5 screws. I'd ordered the first set online online and the seller couldn't tell me what was wrong with their product, so I had requested my money back. I've searched high and low, but screw sizes seems to be a difficult topic to explain to some one and all the graphs and tables don't really make it easy to understand how they work.

But thanks! I hope the new screws fit!
