Standoffs for acrylic?

[robertsig]

I need to mount a motherboard on a piece of acrylic and wanted to know if anyone had some suggestions?  The standard metal standoffs screw into an ATX case, so that won't work.  Are there plastic ones available I could glue?

Standard PCB mounting feet would probably be the easiest thing to glue to acrylic.

I've done it with zip ties and a ball point pen I cut up.

+1 on pcb feet.

Of course if you are looking for a strict, clear plastic look, you could consider using clear rigid pvc tubing, and putting a screw in the center just the same as pcb feet. The kind of tubing that is used in fish tanks.

Still, I would just go with pcb feet.

Yeah there is no need to glue.  Use machine screws/nuts.

Big Box-O-Machine screws = My best friend with these kind of projects.

Depends if you want the bolt heads showing on the other side or not....

I often use acrylic with counterbored holes to make mounts:

I found a way that I think will work.  It's just a mini-itx board, so it should be secure enough.

I'll glue some of these flat plastic standoffs.

I've found that clips like those are a pain in the arse.  The ones I've used would bend rather then pushing through the hole.  I would personally use a screwed in solution, but I don't see why those standoffs wouldn't work.

I generally get a little piece of pex pipe from the plumbing area of home depot. Just a toilet supply tube or something for a dollar, gives me about 50 standoffs.

If you're looking for something clear, BIC Crystal pen and a fast spinning, slow moving cutting blade (or mitre/chop saw, SLOW MOVING, fine toothed blade). Or you could maybe try a stationary belt sander?
