I'm looking to start keeping hardware for prints that need additional parts to complete them. A Pi case that I printed needed screws that I don't have on hand and needed to go searching for some.

It got me thinking to keep a container of stuff ready that would get used often, but I don't really know what to keep on hand. What do you have readily available?

I've only just got started but I bought those sets of m2-m6 nut, bolt and threaded insert sets. After that I'll just replace one size at a time as I need them since I know I'll probably end up using the same sizes over and over.
