Arduino Uno Protective BasePlate with flaps and mounting holes

I designed an improved version of ZeAllan's Arduino base plate, leveraging his original work as a starting point. The modification was based on jakob_dk2300's design - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1173172. I appreciated the idea of secure hold without screws and minimal holes for metal objects to interfere with. However, ZeAllan's base was slightly too tight for my Elegoo Arduino Uno R3, causing concerns about damaging the board's sharp pins during insertion or removal. To address this issue, I enlarged the part slightly, increased its height, and reworked the pegs that fit into the rear holes of the circuit board, making them taller and more tapered. I also added mounting points for added stability. The result is a reliable and versatile base for Arduino Uno, ideal for testing purposes.
