My solution to standoffs and enclosure

Hi all

As a father of 2 LEGO loving children, I sometimes look in the LEGO boxes to find solutions for my projects.

This time I needed a way to move an Arduino UNO between several enclosures, simple and fast.
Also I have seen several forum posts asking about standoffs for the Arduino, so here comes my solution.
Hope this can help others.

Piece 1 is often used as flagpole in different LEGO kits.
Piece 2 needs no description.

Piece 1 fit firmly in the existing holes of Arduino UNO, and can easily be cut to the desired height.
Piece 2 is glued to the enclosure.

Piece 1 snaps in to piece 2, so the Arduino can simply be lifted in and out of the enclosure.
Another way to go is to use piece 1 as a standoff.

Piece 1 is often used as flagpole in different LEGO kits.
Piece 2 needs no description.

But, it does need a picture...

Hi Paul

Hmm, there is a image!

No. The link is blocked at worked, which would explain why.

Sorry Paul, didn't quite get that:"The link is blocked at worked".

Is the link blocket at your work?

Yes. That should have been:

That's a neat solution.
