My mosfet board arrived today, I went out earlier today and found a model to create a new controller board/mosfet board mount (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1857006)
The words were quite unnecessary, but didn't want to take the time to update the model to remove them.
The mosfet section had hex shaped recesses for M3 nuts, but the ones I had wouldn't quite push in. So I used the soldering iron method and placed the nut over the hole, then pushed it down into place with a hot soldering iron.
Rather than running a new power, I simply split my current power leads and added Y connectors and fed both boards from the same cable.
After the installation, I printed the main board cover, which will allow me to mount a 40mm fan over the controller board. I'll probably draw up similar for adding a fan to the mosfet board.
I also still need to create a mount for the raspberry pi I'm running octopi on. However I think Brent is creating one and may wait for him to perfect it and just use his.
