PCB Mount

thingiverse

The primary goal of this concept is to facilitate mounting a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) offset from a surface via four screws. Regularly, when I must install a PCB through its holes, I experience issues with: I consistently lack the screws that match the PCB specifications. The screws inadvertently short against an adjacent track on the PCB. I fail to acquire the required spacers to prevent the PCB tracks from touching the metallic surface it is meant to be mounted on. The holes in the PCB are often positioned inconveniently, making them unevenly spaced. This design directly addresses these challenges: The screw hole diameters can be customized within limitations using the .scad file. The screws apply pressure against a plastic mount, eliminating any risk of short circuits with the PCB tracks. An integrated spacing feature elevates the PCB from the mounting surface, and the height adjustment is possible through modifications in the .scad file. These designs were created specifically for a custom PCB project, but the adjustable length attribute ensures suitability for various PCBs, including Arduinos and other similar devices. Important Note: Before use, note that you will require two printed units to accommodate each PCB effectively. A successful prototype is achievable by printing an example unit on my RepRap Huxley using 0.4mm layer PLA filament.
