Creality K1/Ender extrusion corner brackets screw size
M4 · 8 to 16 mm long
The screws used on Creality K1/Ender extrusion corner brackets are M4 in lengths from 8 to 16 mm.
The record covers M4/M5 corner brackets on 2020-class printer frames.
This entry is marked reported and comes from printables.com.
For reference, M4 is 4 mm across the threads at 0.7 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #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.
- The records span 8–16 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- 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.
- M4 and 6-32 UNC share a nominal diameter with different pitch — a classic cross-thread in US-market kits.

Questions about Creality K1/Ender extrusion corner brackets screws
- What size screw does Creality K1/Ender extrusion corner brackets use?
- M4 × 8–16 mm for M4/M5 corner brackets on 2020-class printer frames.
- How long are the screws in Creality K1/Ender extrusion corner brackets?
- The records range from 8 to 16 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
- 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 Creality K1/Ender extrusion corner brackets?
- 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.
