Final Touches - How do you do it?

[StudentSA]

Good day,

I`d like to find out what people do to give their projects that extra bit of a professional look?

I recently started using "standoffs" to mount my circuit board in the project box as apposed to press stick

Also I find the heat-shrink is an essential, especially to make joints look neat.

Can someone tell me a good way to pass wires into your project box? I make a hole and put them through to my board but then they freely move in and out of the box and sometimes get dislodged due to excessive movement.

Regards,
StudentSA

i like the little jack plugs for low voltage power. if i have alot of wires into the box i use sockets. but i find it hard to make tidy projects i also think decals adda nice touch
