Breadboard Stand

thingiverse

Using a breadboard is easier, when you can look at it vertically. This avoids parallax errors, especially when working with higher breakout boards. It's also healthier for the neck. The breadboard I am using is 24 cm x 21 cm. But the width of the stand can be adjusted to smaller or even bigger sizes by using shorter or longer threaded rods. The printed parts are not closed at the top side, so there is no limitation (the photos show an older version). The angle between breadboard and table is 30°. Normally the left and the right part give enough stability, so the middle part can be omitted. You will need three threaded rods M4 and 12 nuts M4. PLA is ideal for this object. ---- If somebody wants the IC stickers, open, edit and print the attached SVG file with inkscape, cut out what you need and glue it on the chip. I find them very useful, no more counting (is this an 18 pin or a 20 pin chip?). Use a glue, that does not stick very good on plastic, so you can easily remove the stickers, when you are done with the project.
