Hello
I have a CubieBoard ARM dev board. (Similar size to a RaspberryPi).
I also have with it an Acrylic simple case. It is a very simple design consisting of two sheets of acylic that go either side of the board with spacers and stand-offs.
Anyway, I would like to make a larger version of the case with enough room to put an SSD next to to the CubieBoard, and wider spacers so that I can attach a heatsink to the CPU.
I have already found a source of acrylic, (that I can cut and drill quite easily with hand tools), but I am having trouble finding a source of spacers and the like. Any suggestions?
Ideally I am looking for some really long bolts and nuts to go with them. Probably an M3, or just threaded rods. An alternative might be to buy thicker blocks of acrylic and then screw into it with self tapping screws, but I am less confident it would work, as I might just split or shatter the acrylic.
Any better ideas?
