Waste Board Kit Contents

Hi I cant seem to find the following product
2 packs of 10 Pre Assembly insertion nuts39 - 25281-02

Am i doing anything wrong

Thanks frank

Unless you live near an ace hardware. Metric it up.

Oh, I certainly can get metric hardware. I can probably get half a dozen different lengths of M6 bolts at the local hardware stores. But I can probably get a hundred different kinds of 1/4-20s in the same places. Plus allthread, etc.

I’d like to do same, order everything except MDF wood… but elsewhere in the forum it is stated that with the 1000 x 1000 mm kit the support extrusions and gussets are included, we just need the screws/ nuts to attach board to frame and insert nuts for the board itself, here the extrusions and gussets are included as a separate purchase. I’m confused.

I opted not to order the waste board to cut shipping costs as well. Thinking it was just the MDF and the inseertion nuts. Would not have made the same choice if I had the information above. Being able to order the hardware without the MDF board would be a nice option.

After we ship the backlog we will look into adding a module for hardware without the MDF board. Until then you can order the parts listed above in the normal part of our online store.

Sorry if this has been beaten to death but I would like to avoid an unpleasant surprise.

These are additional items I will need to order since I am making my own wasteboard with locally sourced 1/4-20 inserts, correct? Can this be added to my pending order (placed may 6 ) or would it need to be a separate order?

IF it were me, I would get in touch with customer service to handle this. Go to the main page and click on the cart, the email and phone number of the team that handles this is listed at the top. I have always had excellent service and a fast response this way. Good luck !

After finding this thread and reading what Zach had posted, and getting a little worried since I too had opted not to order the waste board for my 1000mm kit, I contacted the Inventables EXCELLENT customer service via email (help@inventables.com), and received the reply below. They were able to add this to my existing order, and were very prompt in their responses. Hope this helps someone else.


We have made changes to the kits since Zach
posted that answer. We made the brackets and extrusions part of the rail kit.
If you plan to make your own Waste Board we have put together the following
information for your review.

  1. The engineering files for the 1000mm board (A Fond Farewell to GrabCAD Workbench - GrabCAD Blog)
    and silk screen file (http://bit.ly/1Ho03vw)

  2. You’ll also need the hardware that comes in the kit
    a. 144 threaded inserts, 2 bags of part #30517-01 (http://bit.ly/1DDUIxA)
    b. 14 pre assembly insertion nuts, 2 bags of part#25281-02 (http://bit.ly/1J2ORGF)
    c. 14 Button Head Screws M5 x 20, 2 bags of part #25286-15 (http://bit.ly/1qjpJQi)

I got in touch with Paul Stolz in customer service via e-mail and was also able to add to my order the insertion nuts and button head screws need to attatch my shop made waste board.

I’ve said it before and it never seems to get old, Inventables service is top notch, A1, superb, incredible, etc, etc, so on and so forth. BTW did I say how great they were? :laughing:

Zach,
I ordered the 1000x1000 X-carve without wasteboard, but added the following items to my order:
M5 threaded inserts (two of the 100-packs), T-slot nuts (two of the 10-packs), and button head caps (two of the 10-packs).
My question is, will the entire order ship out at the same time, or can I possibly expect the wasteboard parts to ship first? I already made the wasteboard, just needing the inserts to get a little further along in the build process. Sorry is this has been asked previously…I’ve been scanning the forum for the past 3 months and don’t recall seeing this question posed.

mine came at the same time

@Tarry_Brindle I ordered the 1000x1000 without the wasteboard and all the parts where shipped at relatively the same time

@Tarry_Brindle I just looked up your order and you have 3 boxes. 2 shipped and the M5 threaded inserts (two of the 100-packs), T-slot nuts (two of the 10-packs), and button head caps (two of the 10-packs) did not ship yet.

I assume it will ship this week but I need to verify with the warehouse manager.

@Tarry_Brindle your other package will ship today.

Awesome, thanks again Zach!
