robigd Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) I am attempting to build my own controllers and previously ordered a pre-built pixie16 controllers from LOR and noticed they have the pixie board mounted on top of the power supply. Does anybody know where I could purchase the mounting brackets that are used for this? Edited September 5, 2018 by robigd Added picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have built many pixie16's. They didn't have fully assembled pixies when I got hooked on them. Maybe look into a car stereo mounting bracket or some AL channel- if you just have to have it like LOR's. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 That appears to be a 'saddle plate'. Note the 2 screws on the side of the PSU. Those holes (location) are custom to the model of PSU. Also note there is a space between the flange and the PSU body to allow EASY air flow to the fan or grills. I sure would not run in the position (Horiz) shown, as the heat would rise into the pixie.

mpageler Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Assuming that the mounting holes for board would clear the perimeter of the PS, some tall/stacked standoffs would work. If not, might have to use some thinner steel/aluminum strip material and and bend/drill some custom brackets. I've done still for some creative mounting needs. Might cruise the hardware section that has straight/angle bracket and stock metal strip material to see if you can put a custom bracket together.
