What if you just got sticks that were full of holes. Then you can just arrange the sticks into any arbitrary hatchwork. An actual toy erector set might even do the trick.

Get a piece of plywood?
I think they’re primarily sold as rework stations and the like, so they need to be heat tolerant and realistically most people aren’t actually powering the boards up in them. Surely someone would have a want for plastic versions of 2020 though.
I was thinking I would just route a V groove into some HDPE strips or whatever. Maybe I’ll have something to post in the making things thread soon.
I was thinking maybe a piece of foam board. Just push in standoffs or other stuff wherever I need.

You could always make it out of some of the polyimide plastics, like Vespel. It’ll push the price up a bit, but it’ll take heat up to 300 degrees without experiencing any change to mechanical properties, and is completely non-conductive. Solder, by comparison, is liquid at about 190 degrees.
As for routing a V-groove - you can get keying bits for a router, you could run a dead straight channel for a more positive hold. You can even get T-slot cutters.
Maybe a wire-wrap board is what you’d need? There are all sorts of standoffs and other parts for it:

Does anyone know any pro graphic designers looking for work who would be a good fit to rebrand GeekNights?
We’re talking new logo, new web site, graphics to use on YouTube, graphics to use on social media sites, business cards, etc.

I might know someone, I’ll ask her if she’s up for it.
Why lose the old stuff? You could edit the existing ones:
Why is it so hard for google to tell me if the Sony Xperia XZ2 will work on the t-mobile network? Is there a term I am not using in the search string to find a website that will say a simple yes or no?
Update: I needed to add pre order to get the answer, gheeze
Where do you buy your MP3s? I’ve been using Amazon for years but I’m sick of giving Jeff Bezos my money, and not everything’s on Bandcamp.
I don’t buy mp3s. I use Spotify. Apple Music isn’t bad either.
I like to support some artists tho.
EDIT: I’m a dope. I thought TuneCore was a streaming service. My bad.
I want to buy music, not sell it.
Bandcamp, that is the #1 artist friendly platform

Listen on Spotify. Then go to the artist’s web site and just send 'em cash. Patreon. Buy some merch. Hell, Spotify will always let you know when an artist is performing in your area. If you got cash, there are other ways to give it to the artist without buying an mp3. They’ll get the same amount of money in the end, plus some pennies every time you stream them.
I already said not everything’s on Bandcamp.
I’ve been getting a lot of emails here lately about privacy policy updates from all sorts of companies. Anybody else experiencing the same deal?
Yes, it is because of GDPR
These companies all want to keep operating in Europe, so they have to comply.
