M3x20 Standoff

Made this standoff for the Hovership MHQ build (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:251002), because I couldn't find any standoffs for it locally or quickly.

I tinkered with these a bit and they seem to stick to the baseplate fairly well, but if you're still having problems you can try using a raft.

You can Tap these with a M3 Tap if you want it looser and easier to screw in. For a firm fit though I just take a M3 bolt (at least 10mm long) and just screw it in one side and then the other while holding the standoff with a vice-grip and then its tapped for the screw and still fairly tight.

Its a good idea after you tap with a tap or use the screw to tap it to blow out the standoff to get rid of the plastic shavings and dust in there.

These weigh in at about 0.5g each. My scale only weighs in 1g increments and it shows it as 0g.
