==== Introduction ====

Many parts do not match the Replimat hole pattern.  They are often the most unique and purposeful components of a project which is the reason they are often the easiest part to start building from.  Adapter plates can be manufactured with simple tools like a saw and drill for any part with an existing planar mounting holes.

==== Challenges ====

Plate thickness should conform to standard [[:frames|frames]], [[:bolts|bolts]], [[:nuts|nuts]], and [[:washers|washers]].

==== Approaches ====

Create mounting plates from flat material, which contain the Replimat hole pattern, and a mounting pattern for an associated part.  Drilling or cutting multiple overlapping hole patterns into the same plate can allow it to be bolted to several different size frames.
