Are the Pine64 Acrylic Open Enclosures Stackable? - abhinava - 01-02-2019

I was wondering if it's possible to stack the acrylic enclosures (https://www.pine64.org/?product=pine64-acrylic-open-enclosure) to hold multiple Pine A64s.

From what I see, this might be possible? I suppose I can use the bottom piece repeatedly to mount the individual boards and just use one single top piece at the very top?

The original design didn't take stackable into consideration. However, if you able to special screw that can link the poles together, it can becomes stackable.

I'm trying the same, and I'd love to know the spec of the large hand-tighten screws that serve as legs -- my intention is to get an longer version of them, and saw off the head to tie together two acrylic cases.

I used M8-1.25x16mm grub screws successfully to stack two of these enclosures:
