20mm stand off

[JRL303]

Does anyone know of a vendor who sells 20mm rail, mini button, stand offs? I can figure out something with screws and what-not but wondering on other potential options. DIY interest too.

I have 3D printed some. Also, aluminum spacers work.

He sells the buttons and may sell some of the other stuff.

Thanks. Bought many buttons from him but no standoffs offered. No 3D printing capabilities. Curious as to the aluminum spacer suggestion. Not sure what these are...

just that, an aluminum tube, that the screw goes through, or if its a #6 screw they have both male and female threaded ones (one each end) that can be used

I just substitue a longer machine screw with of stack of washers for simple standoffs.

Thanks for all the responses.

Or, just use two stacked rail buttons.

Thanks for all the responses.

I have used these also: Spacers. They come in lots of sizes. I buy them with 1/4 inch hole with use 5mm screws, a washer, and t-slot nuts.

Again, thanks for all suggestions. I've been a long time member, HPR L1, and am getting back into it as my kids get more interested in middle school science.

Just a heads up. Randy at Rail-buttons.com contacted me after my initial post and started working on a rail standoff for the 20mm rail. He now has a product on his website for the 1010 rail called "rail stop". The same product scaled down for the 20mm will be launching soon. He sent me a beta version and I can attest to the simple, elegant design. Just FYI for anyone looking for what I was with my original post. Thanks, Randy!
