Confused about the LabStack Mini

[harveyz0]

Is there any documentation for the LabStack Mini files? I'm confused about if the nut bracket vs the heatset bracket? Can I just use the nut bracket as a single piece to hold my Pi with HAT module? Or do all the pieces in the LabStack mini make one bracket?

When I send an item to the lasers do I send the STL or the DXF file? Don't mind me I'm a software guy.

I need to update the readme at some point to clarify what's what... This year has been far busier than I had expected, but the short version for the brackets in particular is this...

You need one bracket option of the three:

• laser-cut metal using the DXF file
• the heatset bracket
• the M3 nut bracket

The Heatset option uses threaded brass heatset inserts to screw the modules into, while the M3 Nut bracket uses M3 nuts to screw the modules into (you'll probably want to put a dab of glue on the nuts when you install them. The laser-cut option is the most expensive, but is actual metal and will hold up better over time, though it requires tapping the holes with an M3 tap, and some manual deburring.
