Mounting holes #10

Closed ggppjj closed 5 months ago

Hello!

Excellent project, I'm very close to having built mine.

I'm thinking of working on a model for a case, and would like to suggest considering mounting holes for the board in the next revision.

Hey. Sounds good!

Do you have any suggestions for size, number and placement?

I was thinking of four, one on each corner, to allow for a super cheap hacky "throw four screws of different lengths in it for basic tenting" while also providing a good number of mounting holes for more complex projects.

2mm holes should be fine, maybe something like 2.5 for tolerance but I don't know what normal PCB manufacturing best-practice for mounting holes is.
