microRACK - micro scale server rack for your Homelab.

microRACK was designed to solve a problem of building a homelab in limited space with maximum versatility. It's follows standard rack spacing with each module being 1U (approx. 44mm). The modules are fastened to the track using standard servers rack screws sizes. Each module has a tab that secures it into the track, once the screws on the front are attached the module is locked in place. The tracks can be mounted on any surface horizontal, vertical or upside down and it will hold the modules securely in place. 

Track - the modular track comes in 5U - 2U sizes, each track has tabs (left side) to lock into the track next to it. With holes so it can be screwed to any surface. You will need to add more nut hole ‘caps’ for each track.

Need to purchase: 

• 10-32 x ½" screws
• 10-32 nuts

Modules - I designed a module base standard that you can download to design your own modules. Depending on your needs you can make a module that is more than 1U wide (or tall) to mount larger objects. The standard length of the module is (min) 100mm but can be longer to suit your needs.  Download the ‘Track Mount BASE’ file(s) to begin designing your own modules. 

Module Orientation - I've made multiple orientations for most modules. Depending on your setup you might want specific ports accessible from the front or back. I like a cleaner less visible wires type of setup so I put all my wires (power, ethernet, etc.) in the back. 

Hard Drive Module(s) - these will require standard hard drive screws to fix the drive into the modules. 

Zimaboard Module - this will require longer M2 screws to fasten to the printed module. 

Zimablade & Switches - these are friction fit or have a flexible tab that lets you slide in the switch and lock it in place. MUST print in PETG for better flexibility of this part. 

Print Instructions - print all parts in PETG with a 25%+ infill.
