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?


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.
