Hello everyone!

I'm currently working on a project with a 486 and I'm experiencing problems finding the standard AT MB standoffs for it. (I attach a photo)

I've been trying hard to find a seller in Europe or on Aliexpress, but so far I haven't had any luck. The regular non slide-in versions (with no peg) are fairly common, though.

I did find some options in the U.S., but shipping costs are insane...

Thanks in advance for your help!

To add to that. If you 3D print them I would suggest using PETG. As PLA breaks very easily (at least that is my experience with this model). Also you need support and that can be a pita to remove.

I ran into the same problem and ordered some from Aliexpress for $3-$4: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001241127659 … .bd1d180286gV5p

However, I had to add some double-sided tape at the bottom... So that's the cheapo alternative.

P2 400, TNT, V2, SB Audigy2 ZS
P233 MMX, Mystique220, V1, AWE64
