Got yourself a new CYBERDECK and wanna add breakouts like an IR thermal camera? Make yourself a mounting plate! This can be 3D printed, laser cut or CNC milled. Heck, this could even be cut out of wood! The mounting plate is available as a 3D model (STEP, STL) and vector format (SVG, DXF).

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/101/122/medium800/3d_printing_plate-stemma-boards.jpg?1617137436)

The mounting plate features mounting holes sized for the CYBERDECK HAT. It can be secured to the PCB using M2.5 standoffs and screws.

Use the two slotted rails to secure breakout boards with M2.5 or M3 hardware.

The plate is designed for the CYBERDECK HAT and Bonnet.

## Files for 3D Printing
The file names have a prefix denoting the version for the HAT or Bonnet. The suffix numbers relate to the length of the slot.

- hat-plate-66mm.stl
- hat-plate-46mm.stl
- bonnet-plate-66mm.stl

## Assembly

Use hardware screws to secure the plate to the CYBERDECK.

![3d_printing_plate-hardware.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/101/125/medium640/3d_printing_plate-hardware.jpg?1617137717)

Secure the standoffs to the plate using M2.5 x 6mm long screws. Insert a screw through the mounting hole and fasten a standoff onto the thread of the screw.

Place the CYBERDECK over the standoffs and insert an M2.5 x 6mm screw. Use a screwdriver to secure the CYBERDECK to the plate.

![3d_printing_plate-standoff-install.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/101/126/medium640/3d_printing_plate-standoff-install.jpg?1617137772)

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/101/128/medium800/3d_printing_plate-hat-installed.jpg?1617137881)

Install M2.5 screws and F-M standoffs onto the STEMMA QT breakout. Place the threads of the standoffs through the slot on the plate. Use hex nuts to secure the STEMMQ QT breakout to the plate.

![3d_printing_stemmaqt-hardware.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/101/129/medium640/3d_printing_stemmaqt-hardware.jpg?1617137926)

Install the Pi TFT by lining up the headers and firmly pressing them together.

![3d_printing_hat-pitft-install.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/101/132/medium640/3d_printing_hat-pitft-install.jpg?1617138019)

Use the STEMMA QT cable to connect the breakout to the CYBERDECK using the port on the side.

![3d_printing_stemmaqt-cable.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/101/133/medium640/3d_printing_stemmaqt-cable.jpg?1617138128)

Plug in the CYBERDECK to the back of the Pi400.

![3d_printing_hat-pi400-install.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/101/134/medium640/3d_printing_hat-pi400-install.jpg?1617138247)
