Riser Foot with Carpet Spikes - OpenSCAD
Description
PDFA 3D model to create a riser foot with spikes to hold it in place on a carpet.
I was mounting some components on floor of my Jeep. I had two use cases: one was to level out a component due to the contours of the Jeep floor. The other was to mount a component to the floor, but wanted risers to encourage airflow to keep the component cool.
This project uses OpenSCAD to create a cuboid that has carpet spikes on on face of it. In my case I used VHB tape to affix is to the components being supported.
