New little project.

[Nigel Goodwin]

Just had some more PCB's arrive, and 3D printed some mounting clips for them

 

[Pommie]

Why do they need to be in a cylinder mount?

Nice and neat .

Mike.

It's for going in one end of a plastic waste pipe.

 

[Pommie]

OK, gonna have to ask, what's it doing in the waste pipe? Is this going to be like horrible histories? I hope so.

Nothing to do with waste

It's a headphone amplifier at one end of the pipe, and a geophone at the other, for listening to noises in the ground.

Sorry, obviously misread this bit.

Noises ? Hmmm...

Press-fit or hot glue?

Don't know yet, it's a work in progress - could even be solvent, as we already have that for the pipe fittings.

That could be interesting, but the board edges mite swell if they soak up too much solvent.

Sorry, I was referring to gluing the 3D printed mountings in the pipe, not the PCB in the slots - that's nice and tight anyway - but assuming anything is needed, I'd use hot melt glue on the slots.
