I created a Turing Pi 2 tray that lifts the board up and makes enough space for the M.2 drives (without heatsinks). It's designed for M3 3.0-5.0 mm flat head screws. This base will be later further expanded to a full bench that lifts the board even more up, lets you mount 2 2.5" drives and manage cables Links: - Printables: https://www.printables.com/model/451245-mini-itx-tray-for-turing-pi-2 - Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5967610

Riffing on this... to give access to the NVMe & SD connectors, I wonder if there'd be value in a frame which rotates the mainboard 180 degrees around the vertical axis , so that the standard I/O shield can still be used (albeit itself rotated), the SODIMM modules pointing towards the original motherboard tray, and the rear ports easily accessible?

The idea is you'll be able to lift the board any time you need to access the back side. I did not think yo make it so you can mount it this way and leave the bottom side of the board exposed (if this is what you mean)

Sorry, I was thinking for use in an existing case/chassis.

Have used this, it's great! My tolerances might be a bit off, because the m3 screws didn't bite, but it's still okay. I had considered making a tweak to it when I've time to add a cutout for m3 nuts under there. Should work fine with bridging, and then it's got metal to grab (not that it really needs it, but then I don't have to worry about tolerances as much)
