Thanks for the suggestions! Greg, I don't have access to a 3d printer unfortunately- I'm an apartment dweller with pretty much hand tools only. Besides, these sockets are so nice compared to the self-manufactured option that I'd really like to take advantage of them.
Martin, your solution makes a lot of sense- I'd been thinking about it but worried how the boards do under strain. Your experience suggests well. Looks like a good opportunity for me to learn some basic points of a CAD package too. --Craig On Sunday, September 18, 2022 at 2:39:49 PM UTC-4 Dekatron42 wrote: > I make flanges out of circuit boards that I make in Designspark and then > let PCB-companies manufacture for me, in some cases I have to add standoffs > if they are needed to get the correct distance to the mounting plate. > > /Martin > [image: Img_4523-small.jpg][image: Img_4522-small.jpg] > > On Sunday, 18 September 2022 at 16:54:53 UTC+2 gregebert wrote: > >> Do you have a 3D printer ?
