Arduino Uno Protective BasePlate with flaps and mounting holes

thingiverse

I printed ZeAllan's Arduino base plate -- http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1300706 based on the original work of jakob_dk2300 -- http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1173172 and it worked well. I liked the idea of not needing screws to hold the Arduino in, and that there were no large holes in the base for something metal to get through and short the board. However, ZeAllan's version was still a bit tight on the Elegoo Arduino Uno R3 that I had purchased. Trying to insert or remove the card into the base gave me visions of torn skin on the sharp pins on the back of the board. And there were no mounting holes. So I enlarged the part every so slightly and increased it's height. I also reformed the pegs that go through the rear holes of the circuit board to be a bit taller and more tapered. And I added mounting points. A nice working base for the Arduino Uno and a way to mount it where it's needed for testing. Thanks to all involved!
