Threaded Spacers

JonnyMac

I need 50 threaded spacers:
-- 16mm length
-- M3 threads

I also need 100 M3 screws to attach PCBs (custom RPi shield for client). Preference is black nylon for spacers and screws.

Where do you folks get products like this?

I get mine from McMaster Carr, but they are expensive. ebay and aliexpress are cheaper options if you can wait for them to arrive.

I recently bought a resin 3d printer to see if it was viable to print my own spacers and standoffs. Preliminary tests are encouraging.

If it is threaded, it is a standoff - no threads then it is a spacer. I think.

Aluminum is their cheapest version of this.

I got what I needed from McMaster-Carr. Pricey, but got exactly what I need.

Digi-Key has a fairly complete line of these.

I use the round standoffs from McMaster. More options in Inch vs metric.

You might try Lyn-Tron, Inc. in Spokane, WA. I get all of my spacers from them.
