When I first started creating my projector I found these mounts but they cost $25 each. So I decided to make a 3D model and print my own. They may drift over time since they aren't metal. How much probably depends on the material you use to print them.

You'll need to tap the holes for the screws you have

Since I can't figure out how to add a zip file here's the link to thingiverse

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

What additional hardware (what size screws) do they require?

Like I said when I first made this I couldn't find them for cheaper than $25/ea. I figured I should share them anyway.

Just realized I never answered your question. The model just has the holes so you would need to (may need to drill them larger first) tap them for the threads your using. Harbor Freight has a cheap tap and die set

You must had purchased them from chad on PL. He has some remarkable electro-optical machining skills.

Here is what I recall he was selling, they were $25? How do you like them?

AND another of his I just found! So simple!
It's down in the attachments , the two pictures to the right, next to the Chadmounts from your link.

(How do I get those images displayed here?)
