BigTreeTech Manta M8P printer mainboard screw size
M4 · length not stated in the sources
If you are replacing a screw on BigTreeTech Manta M8P printer mainboard, the thread is M4. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.
Where it is used: board uses M4 standoff/mounting hole pattern to secure into printer enclosures.
This entry is marked reported and comes from scribd.com.
M4 means a 4 mm nominal diameter with a 0.7 mm thread pitch. Imperial look-alike: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Printer and CNC builds usually publish a bill of materials; when it lists a length, follow it, since extrusion T-nuts and motor faces have fixed thread depths.
- Diameter: across the threads an M4 screw measures about 4 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.7 mm from one thread crest to the next (14.29 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M4 heads take PH2 for Phillips and T20 for Torx, and a 3 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M4 is about 2.0-3.0 N·m into metal threads and 0.8-1.4 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M4
- VESA thread size is set by pattern class: M4 for 75x75/100x100, M6 or M8 for the big 200mm+ patterns. Check the plate on the back of the display.
- VESA fixes the hole pattern and max thread depth, not screw length — length depends on the panel back and any spacers.

Questions about BigTreeTech Manta M8P printer mainboard screws
- What size screw does BigTreeTech Manta M8P printer mainboard use?
- M4 for board uses M4 standoff/mounting hole pattern to secure into printer enclosures.
- How long are the screws in BigTreeTech Manta M8P printer mainboard?
- None of the sources states a length. Remove one screw and measure it from under the head to the tip (overall for a countersunk head).
- What is the thread pitch of an M4 screw?
- 0.7 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M4 machine screws; a 0.5 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 3.3 mm and the normal clearance hole is 4.5 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for BigTreeTech Manta M8P printer mainboard?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M4, Phillips heads normally take PH2 and Torx heads T20; socket heads take a 3 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M4?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #8-32 (4.17 mm) — the standard US PC/rack screw, close but not the same. Use a true M4 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
