Standoffs for acrylic?
(1/3) > >>
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?
Franco B:
Standard PCB mounting feet would probably be the easiest thing to glue to acrylic.

ChadTower:

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

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