    Wow, I love what the site looks like now. Just moved and finally had enough room to put my printers back up.
    HOWEVER, I am missing all the screws that hold the bottom panel to the bottom of the printer and the nuts and bolts that hold the top to the bottom body. Is there a place I buy these? (Nuts and Bolts)

    Glad to be back :)

    case is M6-1.0 thread. Overall length on mine is 16mm. The bottom are oddball tapping screws. something around 5/32 OD of the threads. Not exactly a 5/32 not exactly a 4mm :D 13 mm long from the start of the threads to the end (not counting the cap)

    Also small metric hardware can be had at an RC hobby shop at a premium.
    If you have a ACE or similar in an industrial area they usually have a very good selection

    Yes they do! Although you may need to ask since it is often well hidden.

    You took the cover off yours? How are the smooth z-axis rods held in place without it?

    By the mounts at the base. The tops mounts add no value.
