Hi guys.
Thought I would register over here to give you guys a hand sorting these frames out if needed.
Quoted from schudel5:I think the standoffs shown on that page are thread x length (mm).
40mm = 1-5/8"
30mm = 1-1/8"
16mm = 5/8"
12mm = 1/2"
8mm = 5/16"
Threads would probably be 6-32 or 8-32 depending whether M3 or M4. Not sure what the standards are for hex spacers and lengths but you can probably find what you need here for lengths.
Yep, they're all lengths. You need to be careful when selecting the lengths as there is only a mm or two clearance on a couple of the parts.
Quoted from schudel5:Here's the only caveat that I'm thinking you will run into using imperial standoffs, for this project, and the Alibaba displays. The displays already have the threaded metal studs in them that you screw the standoffs into first. I'm assuming these are probably metric as they are coming from HK. Granted, you probably could run the proper metric tap in the threaded end that attaches to the display and it might work. Just throwing that out there. Or just source the metric standoffs somewhere.
Yep, that's right, the studding on the back of the displays is M3. I think you at least need to source the M3x30 hex spacers and the M3 bolts to fit these. All of the other screws etc can be Imperial if it's easier/cheaper.
Let me know if I can help with anything.
There are some assembly over at Arcade Otaku. I'm sot sure if you guys can see them so was going to post them here but my images don't seem to work here using [img] tags, what's the correct way to get them to show up here? Is it because I'm a new member?
