I have installed a DC-64 (https://github.com/sideprojectslab/DC-64) in my Commodore 64 and wanted a neat way to connect a power supply. USB-C PD adapters have a 12VDC output option (not all do, so best to check), so this would make an ideal power supply, given they are so ubiquitous. This plate has a mount for a PDC004-PD USB-C PD decoy, which is available with a 12VDC option required to select the correct voltage, making a neat solution. The original bracket is fixed using screws that thread through the motherboard into the plate, but with this being 3D printed the screws would not secure well, so I have changed the holes to slotted and used button (dome) head screws going from underneath and nuts on the top of the motherboard, which gives the added that the bracket can be adjusted a little - this is not depicted in the photos, as it was after those we taken that I discovered the issue. I have added supports either side of the PD decoy mount to reduce the plate from flexing when the USB-C connector is inserted. The plate is a remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:959633 and https://www.printables.com/model/718131-usb-c-pd-trigger-panel-mount.
