    What size are the washers and springs that go on the screws that hold the filament to the hobbed bolt?

    They keep flying off and this time I haven't been able to find one of the springs.

    Thanks! :)

    I know they are M3 screws, so I assume any M3 washer will do, the springs are another matter. My local ACE as a drawer full of springs, if you have one close, just bring a spring there and match it as best you can.

    My local ACE have people who have been there longer than I have lived here, now going on 15 years, just ask and they usually walk you right to the correct drawer.
