Voron 2.4 3D printer screw size
M3 / M5 · 8 to 40 mm long
The screws used on Voron 2.4 3D printer are M3 and M5 in lengths from 8 to 40 mm.
There are 2 separate fitment records for it, including official manual: M3x8 SHCS hold each of the four Z-drive stepper motor mounts; M3x40 SHCS (M3) and frame feet: M5x10 BHCS with M5 hex nuts (M5).
Head and drive, as the sources state them: socket cap and button heads and Hex socket (Allen) drive.
2 of the 2 records are marked confirmed, drawn from 1 source (zh.treatstock.com).
For reference, M3 is 3 mm across the threads at 0.5 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3.

One row per fitment record. Head, drive are shown only where the source states them; pitch is the ISO coarse pitch for the thread.

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 M3 screw measures about 3 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). This device also uses M5, so measure each screw rather than assuming they match.
- Pitch: 0.5 mm from one thread crest to the next (20 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: for socket cap / button head screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
- The records span 8–40 mm, which means different positions take different lengths — match each hole to its own screw.
- Driver: the source names a Hex socket (Allen) drive. For comparison, standard M3 heads take PH1 (Phillips) or T10 (Torx), or a 2.5 mm hex key.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M3 is about 80-130 N·cm into metal threads and 35-60 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M3 / M5
- M3 is the most common FPV screw, but length must match arm and stack thickness — too long can short motor windings or crack frame plates.
- Museum/AV projector mounting kits typically bundle four to six thread sizes (M3–M6) in one bag to fit varied projector OEM patterns — always match the specific length/thread pair actually used for a given projector model rather than assuming all sizes apply universally.
- The 'GoPro thread' is M5-0.8, a de facto standard on third-party mounts, and is not the imperial 1/4-20 tripod thread.
- M5x0.8 is the de facto universal bike thread — confirm 0.8mm pitch before threading into carbon or alloy bosses.

Questions about Voron 2.4 3D printer screws
- What size screw does Voron 2.4 3D printer use?
- M3 × 8–40 mm for official manual: M3x8 SHCS hold each of the four Z-drive stepper motor mounts; M3x40 SHCS on the Z-drive top plate; M3x16 SHCS at the 3-point bed mounts; M5 × 10 mm for frame feet: M5x10 BHCS with M5 hex nuts.
- How long are the screws in Voron 2.4 3D printer?
- The records range from 8 to 40 mm depending on the position, so match each screw to its own hole.
- What is the thread pitch of an M3 screw?
- 0.5 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M3 machine screws; a 0.35 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 2.5 mm and the normal clearance hole is 3.4 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for Voron 2.4 3D printer?
- The source lists a Hex socket (Allen) drive. Standard M3 heads otherwise take PH1 (Phillips) or T10 (Torx), or a 2.5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M3?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3. Use a true M3 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
- Where can I buy replacement screws for Voron 2.4 3D printer?
- TechSpareWarehouse (our own store) lists M3 x 8mm, M3 x 10mm and M3 x 12mm, which match lengths in the records above.
