PCB mounting feet (need like 20 sets of 4)

Minions:

I used the bic pen method. Set the ink aside, can always pop those back in pens once they run out and still get use out of the ink. Win win in my book as you can get large packs of those pens for next to nothing.

Do you not find the bic pen solution brittle when cutting and fragile when in use?

The tubing solution looks great to me


Minions:

I normally use a saw to cut them, anything with small teeth, and I'm not jumping on these things, all they need to do is separate the board from whatever I attach it to. Just drop a screw from the top of the board through the pen and into the wood or whatever.

boardjunkie:

You could even use rubber "feet" with a screw hole thru them....just snug them down...no need to torque them to hell...

Your hardware likely has them for a quarter....

Yeah, I think it might be time to make my own.  Just figured the actual feed have to be cheap somewhere.
