Hinge Screws - Standard Part? Replacements?

In my case, it seems binary. One or the other. Friction really increases as the screws start to thread for me.

Who knows, maybe the threads are coarse or something.

With the metal hinges, I didn’t find this possible. Maybe I didn’t finish my due diligence on that though…

That’s weird. I didn’t notice anything unusual. Not to say that there wasn’t. I just didn’t notice.

I see. Mine came with plastic hinges so I wouldn’t know. My bad… :wink:

At this point, I feel I have exhausted my options. The thread diameter is apparently ~1.55mm. I cannot even find ~40mm screws with anywhere near that thread.

The Phillips heads used on my hinge pins are indeed worn down. For now,I have mostly finished testing various hinges, so I am hoping to avoid ruining them completely. I have dedicated a screwdriver to never be used for any other purpose. Nevertheless, it is likely I will be placing a request with Pimax support for replacement pins…
