    Hi, I'm trying to get replacement screws/fasteners for the Starling 2 frame.

    They appear to be

    • phillips head
    • approx 27 threads/inch
    • Approx length: 7.75mm or 0.3"
    • Rounded cap
    • Possibly thread forming?
    • smaller than M2.5 screws
      I haven't been able to find replacements on mcmaster or find a model number anywhere. The CAD has the screws modeled, but there is no name for the screw since the assembly is a .STEP file.

    Could anyone provide a link to mcmaster or a detailed screw description?

      @starlinguser , sorry for the delay. The part number of the screw is:

      McMaster Carr 99461A922

      https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/131/3432/99461A922

      Any similar M2.2x8 thread forming screw should work, but we found this one works best.
