Required parts:

  • M3 screw, nut(any kind) and washer(preferably plastic to avoid scratching)
  • Both pieces from the STL
  • Superglue
  • A piece of paper if you use a metal washer and you're worried about scratching

Here's a guide on how to apply it:

  1. Print all the parts, clean up the hole in fix piece
  2. Prepare the surface, it should be as flat as possible
  3. Get an M3 screw(length doesn't really matter), M3 washer, M3 nut(of any kind)
  4. Put washer on screw and the alignment piece. The fit might be a bit tight.
  5. Insert the screw from the bottom, leaving threaded piece sticking up. If you're worried about scratching, get a piece of paper, fold it down a couple of times and put it between M3 washer and the chassis.
  6. Prepare the superglue, M3 nut and check the fit.
  7. Move back up the fix piece, and apply glue to its bottom
  8. Move the piece back down and fix it in place with a nut. Use a screwdriver and screw it in to add clamp everything in piece. Don't worry about the CA glue, its shear strength is mediocre which will allow us to separate everything afterwards. Put the laptop chassis upside down so that the glue doesn't flow onto the bottom and leave a stain
  9. Wait a couple of minutes, remove the jig pieces and clamp it down for a couple of hours using the same setup, except without the alignment helper
  10. After all this the screw post should be fixed!
