I recently picked up an Ender 3 V2 Neo at auction. All the pictures looks great, I was told it functioned, and I saw some pictures of it put together.
Long story short either they didn’t include the bolts to mount the screen/gantry or kept them.
Does anyone know what screen bolts and gantry mounting bolts I need? Thanks in advance!
There are lots of resources for the different Ender 3 models online, its design is open source after all.

Looks like both of those say you need an M5x45 screw. That is, an M5 sized screw that’s 45mm long: https://www.amazon.com/iExcell-Thread-Socket-Screws-Finish/dp/B08S7FLZ1D
And they’re also both saying that each screw comes with a spring washer, to keep tension on the gantry: https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Stainless-Spring-Washers-Gasket/dp/B0152FRDFM/
But first, I would check the ends of the gantry arms to make sure the screws weren’t just stuck in there for safekeeping.
EDIT: to be more specific, the BOTTOM of the gantry is held by M5x45, but the TOP of the gantry is M5x25.
This is a lifesaver! I didn’t have the install guide either so its bookmarked now.
No bolts in the gantry ends, but the M5x45s seem easy enough to find.
