Base plate.

[Highpower]

Hey Ed...  

I wanted to ask if I can commission you again for another part. I finally got the capacitor board I've been waiting on and had plans to put it into a DIN rail housing that I have for another board. Of course the new board is too small and isn't going to fit. And with the DIP switches mounted right at the edges of the board it wouldn't be able to slide into the grooves of the housing anyway.  

Wondering if you could print a simple base plate/frame for the board to sit on that has about an 8mm deep recess in it for clearance under the board for the banana jacks and leads sticking out the bottom?

Sure, not a problem. I'll be back to Arizona on the 25th so I can whip it up once I get back.

Cool. Thanks.

I know you are busy going back and forth so one never really knows where you are at any given time.
As usual, I'm not in any rush.

Here's a quick first pass at it.

At his age, he probably doesn't either...

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Good grief! Do you have a mind meld with your CAD program?  

That looks like the hot ticket with maybe one fly in the ointment. The pins on the DIP switches are only 1 - 2mm away from the side edges of the board. It may need a couple of relief "cuts" on the side walls of the base?  

I can understand wanting to save money on the size of the board they use, but REALLY?

I'll tweak it. That was just my first pass.

Ready to go. I'll get it sent out in the next couple of days.

I don't see any embossing. How's he gonna know what it is?
