I don't have the MacArthur HAT screws on hand, so I am not sure about the lenght.
If you use them to secure the holding bracket + base + raspberry bundle... are they too long?
Not they are actually really short, they can only accommodate maybe mounting to a 1-2mm something. So the changes that I needed to do to get it working for me were:
- Fuse the base and the holding bracket in one print, allows short screw to hold the PI
- Raise the mounting points of the raspberry pi in the base from 1mm to 3mm, that helps to align with the rest of the spacers.
- Make some adjustments so that I can remove the SD Card and also removed the bottom part of the holes of the usb-c, hdmi ports because it didn't fit. The base print has a "fence" around it and it was hitting that.
This is how it looks with pictures. For me this way, is good enough, it works for what I want.
