FS PCB EZ-Swap Holder Kits

I recently created an EZ-Swap PCB holder because swapping PCBs was a point of friction when it came to playing games. I wanted something easy, and I came up with a three-point configuration that allows most PCBs to be swapped out with a single screw. UPDATE: with a thumb screw! You can read about how they were designed if you like.



I'm offering them for sale because I have a photo studio I need to build and the photography biz ain't the career for people who hate weddings and children but still like money.

Anyway, I am offering a full set in your choice of whatever colours I have on hand, and a carbon fibre option (that stuff is strong af). This includes two base holders, the slider rail, and the slider assembly itself. This has gone through a lot of testing, a bunch of iterations, and has been tested with an OG Donkey Kong boardset that weighs in at 2.3kg (~5lb) so I'm quite confident about the load capacity.



$10 for a set
+$2 for carbon fibre filament
Trackable shipping for any number of sets:
$6.5 to Australia
$14 to Canada / USA
$16 to Europe / UK
Prices in USD.

Ships with installation, care and feeding instructions. Does not include screws to mount it to your plywood or whatever.

Very cool! I have something similar I mounted in one of my cabinets. For extra PCBs in your machine, you could mount these kits using some stand offs and you can then screw a PCB down under it too

It seems to me I could fairly easily do a 2-board version. At least conceptually, it's easy, the devil's in the details as usual. But also, that's more of a semi-permanent mount, not so much EZ-Swap. But dang, now I want to do that. =D

Interesting, I wonder could you have your EZ-Swap clamps on both sides and then have the whole thing standing off the wooden board. So you could fit one on each side.

So imagine in my photo if the PCB that's screwed to the board was actually also connected to the EZ Swap holder.

I like it, I'll PM you for some sets.

I'm going to need you to draw me a diagram, my friend. O_o?

The EZ Swap PCB Holders have been updated with an all-new thumbscrew design! Everyone who bought a set can get a free upgrade to the new design.

I'm in these look great!

@astro_zombie138 has games that are mounted on plexiglass sheets, and asked if I could accommodate those, and so these sets are now available in PCB and plexi options. ^__^
