[Xanxi]

Hi.

I am looking for a few sets of these plastic spacers for A3000/A4000 accelerators, with the correct size.
Please make offer.
If they are available from any online seller that i don't know of, please let me know.

Thanks Amibay.

Hi DjCook.
No they are like this (spacers for the holes in between the mobo and the cpu board).

Can You please measure space between these rings?

 

[Xanxi]

i can’t for now but they give measurements in this old EAB thread

Making sure you're not a bot!

Yes they are 17mm.
They can be replaced by brass spacers and M3 screws on both ends…
Someone used to sell them here, I think.

@tbtorro use to sell the brass ones that @Rakeim132 mentions but I believe he is all out.

If you know some one close with a 3D printer maybe this will help:

Yes these worked for myself, had them printed with my last order at the board house.

Thanks. Since they can't be found new and genuine or second hand, i will try the 3D printed part. If it does not work, i will follow advices about screws and nylon nuts.
I need a material which resists the heat though, i don't want plastics melting on my hardware. Look how a 3d printed trapdoor has reacted to the moderate heat of a B1260/50MHz.

@Xanxi if you drop me a PM with your address I'll send you a set of new ones for free. For old times' sake.

Had those ones above printed in MJF(Nylon), good temperature resistance to about 175 c (depends on the thickness of the part), hence the odd colour, looks like @tbtorro may have you sorted anyway

It would be nice to find a good source for these. I need some as well. My 3D printer (or maybe my skills) sucks at small pieces like that.

You can get them printed at one of the PCB board manufactures (most have a 3D printing service with a number of different materials), off the top my head they were less then $5 to print, the shipping can be costly if you want them in a hurry, but if you are happy to use their economical rate of shipping it was fairly reasonable.
