heated bed screw specifications

[anthony27]

Ok so I am having an immense world of trouble with the screws for the headed bed on my creator pro, that are used for adjusting the flatness of the bed, does anyone know why they are getting threaded and where I can get some replacements do you have the specs I know they are M3?

We can't say why they are losing their thread but an M3 bolt is an M3 bolt or you need to do is measure the length and get the head you want i.e. Hex, pozi drive etc. Most hardware store will sell M3 machine screws.

A2 stainless steel is probably your best option, its very standard. The main thing is to work out why the threads are getting worn. It's probably just the movement back and forth.
