This is a mounting sled designed specifically for the Kitronik Robotics Board for Raspberry Pi Pico. It provides a secure, insulating interface between the PCB and your robot's chassis.

Why use this? If you are building a robot with a metal chassis (like aluminum or steel), mounting the PCB directly to the frame is risky. The solder joints on the underside of the board can easily touch the metal, causing a short circuit. This sled acts as a protective spacer, lifting the board safely off the metal surface.

Mounting Method: I designed this to be attached to the chassis using Velcro (hook and loop tape) or strong double-sided tape.

  • No Drilling Required: The flat bottom allows you to stick the sled anywhere on your robot without drilling new holes in the metal chassis.

  • Easy Removal: Velcro allows you to easily detach the entire electronics assembly for maintenance.

Features:

  • Exact Fit: Designed to cradle the dimensions of the Kitronik Pico Robotics Board.

  • Insulation: Creates a physical barrier between the electronics and conductive frames.

  • PCB Securement: The visible holes in the model align with the PCB mounting points (use small screws or self-tappers to fix the board to the plastic sled).

Print Instructions:

  • Material: PLA

  • Layer Height: 0.2mm

  • Walls: 3 loops (important for screw hole strength)

  • Infill: 15%

  • Supports: None required
