"DINish" RPi mount

Din mounts for rpi are great as long as there are other devices that can fill out the rail, but a pi din mounted all on it's own takes more work and uses up more mounting real estate. I was faced with such a situation while building my cnc controller box. I decided the best spot for the pi was the top corner, far away from any other DIN mount devices. So I designed this alternative 'dinnish' style pi mount to simplify install and make the footprint on the backplane as small as possible.

It is an easy print; no supports or other tricks required. Since mounting hole spacings for full sized rpi boards have not changed, it will work with any standard pi (rpi1-4). Use 4@ short M3 bolts to secure the pi board to the mount. Then drive 2 self drilling screws (or predrill and drive #8 self tapping screws) through the 2x 4mm diameter holes and in to a flat surface to secure it.
