=Introduction=
Most projects require at least one part which doesn't conform easily to the [[grids]].  This part is often central to the purpose of the project.

=Challenges=
Unique parts may not have easy mounting points or compatible hole patterns.  Adapting them to the [[grids]] can be a challenge.

=Approaches=
* offset a frame with stacked washers to match an existing hole pattern
* drill holes matching your unique mounting requirements in [[plates]] to create an adapter plate.
* cage the part
