I recently picked up an Ender 3 V2 Neo at auction. All the pictures looks great, I was told it functioned, and I saw some pictures of it put together.

Long story short either they didn't include the bolts to mount the screen/gantry or kept them.

Does anyone know what screen bolts and gantry mounting bolts I need? Thanks in advance!

I’m guessing m5x20 socket head bolts.

They should be the same across the rest of the frame, pull one off and measure the diameter of the thread if you want to know. Alternative bring it to your local hardware store and match it in the grab-bag hardware aisle

Here's some fun pedantry: those are actually called cap screws, because they're not paired with a nut. A screw becomes a bolt when used with a nut.

At least that's what a pedantic instructor told me once.

Thank you! That's good to know, I'm glad they made it all standard

Iirc, my friends cr10s had t-brackets on the outside joint to help with rigidity, those would have been m5x10 or so bolting into the appropriate t-nuts
