    Hi everyone,
    I have an issue with my hot end hex screws where they are threaded and I cannot get them nice and tight to hold the hotend steady.
    Does anyone know what the size and thread etc they are? Its for a Robo 3D R1
    Thanks

    If you are speaking of the two that go into the side of the Greg's Wade Extruder body, they are M3.

    Thanks for that. Yes I managed to check at my local hardware and replaced both with Philips head screws. So much easier than using a hex key
