I’m looking to start keeping hardware for prints that need additional parts to complete them. A Pi case that I printed needed screws that I don’t have on hand and needed to go searching for some.

It got me thinking to keep a container of stuff ready that would get used often, but I don’t really know what to keep on hand. What do you have readily available?

    M2, m3 and m5 bolts of various lengths,

    The inserts and a tap. For weak connections, instead of the insets, I just tap out the hole.

    Other hardware I keep on hand are wiring and soldering, resistors and other vitamins, smooth rods (for making pins, etc).

    Mostly I buy what I need as i need it but things like electronics components, they tend to be more less bulk buys.
