Hello,  
can you recommend a library where you can download DIN elements such as screws, pins and washers?  
Thanks 😉

I personally use [McMaster Carr](https://McMaster.com) a lot in my designs.  
There’s a CAD file for _almost_ anything you would need, especially hardware.  
If you search, there are instructional videos on YouTube I believe, specific to importing CAD designs from McMaster into Shapr. It’s super easy and fast, especially if you’re running the McMaster app on your device.

So this is how it is!!  
I see… Very helpful 👏  
I build the parts on my own which take huge amount of time getting measurements right.

Thank you!!
