A fully 3D printable rack for your home lab! Can be configured in 10-inch and 6-inch.

To use this system, you need to print at least 4 rails in a chosen size between 2U and 7U, and 4 joints, with a chosen depth between 150mm and 200mm.

This system will accept any 10-inch or 60inch rack mount. And you can see some options in the collections below:

3mf and step files included!

Required parts

To assemble this system, some hardware is required.

  • 8x M5 thread inserts.
  • For the joints: 8x M5x20mm screws.
  • For the mounts: M5 screws. Min length: 20mm.
  • M5 Hex nuts for the mounts. At least 2 per mount.

Rack assembly

After you have printed your rack parts, you must use the thread inserts and screws to assemble it. 

OBS.: The rail and joint sizes used in this tutorial are only for illustration purposes, you may choose a size to your liking.

Please, follow the steps below:

  • Insert the 8x M5 thread inserts into your rails.
  • Attach one of the joints to your rail. The hex nut part of the rail must be facing back, as in the pictures below.

  • Attach the second rail on the other side of the joint.

  • Attach the second joint to both rails.
  • Tighten all 4 screws. But do not over tighten them.
  • Repeat the steps above to make the other side of the rack.
  • Now, I recommend printing one of the blanks, either 10-inch or 6-inch, to use as a guide in the back of the rack. This will help you to get the correct size.

  • Now you're done! Your rack is ready to install other mounts.
