Lego standoffs


Easy trick: If you need electronics standoffs and don't have any handy, Lego pieces perform very nicely in a pinch. [Related: How to hack LEDs into Lego minifigures, Lego Abominations, Upgrade your MAKE Controller ] [Tags: howto, electronics, diy, lego, hacks]

I consider my legos more precious than my standoffs..

Question, will standoffs work as legos in a pinch? I've been missing this blue one since I was 9. That's about 25 years, and I've moved about 10 times.

Regrettably, I haven't come across any standoffs that make good Lego substitutes. On the bright side of using Lego pieces as standoffs, you can reclaim them later-- they aren't damaged by using them that way.
