Printable mount for the MakerBot Industries relay board to go on top of one of the Cupcake stepper controller boards. MBI has a kit for this (http://store.makerbot.com/accessories/relay-board-mount-kit.html) with a nifty laser-cut octagon wood mount, which is elegant and cheaper than buying the hardware yourself. But if you happen to have a MakerBot, plus some extra standoffs and long screws on hand, you can print one.
I came up with overlapping squares instead of a octagon because the two boards are not the same size. If you want the octagon, Jamesdavid has a parametric mount (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4241) that has built-in standoffs. And of course, Charles Pax's original design is available (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4141).
I've provided two versions - one with screw holes and one without. I'm having trouble getting the screw holes to print nicely, so plan on drilling them after printing.
