10inch modular rack

A modular, expandable 10in rack system.

Can be expanded to take 19in equipment, and will also accept euro-rack modules

I'm adding new features daily, so please keep checking back.

Each block is 1u in height.

I've made each piece so it will fit on a 256x256 (10in) build plate.

The blocks take m6 nuts - hex are a tight fit, square a loose fit. The holes are 6mm diameter, so will take a m4 heatset insert if you prefer

The ends of the side plates, and “slides” (drawer slides) have holes to take a m3 heatset insert

The 2020 crossrail has 2x slots for m3 square nuts for eurorack modules and also a 2020 compatible slot to allow top+bottom plates to be added to the outside of the case.

 The Euro Rail has a single slot for eurorack modules faceplates and is thinner to allow a little more room between the rails for components

NOW ADDED:

Double Block

To make a double wide rack

19in Adaptor Block

Use 19in rack equipment in a “double wide” 10in rack 

Centre Nut.

This will slide into the vertical nutslots on the 1u blocks, to provide a spacer between the top and bottom square nuts. It has a m6 thread for the central bolt hole.

It ONLY works with square nuts.

-

Drawer Slides. 

The drawer slides can be attached by m6 bolts - use 30mm long at the back, 35mm at the front to act as a stop pin (if required).

-

Multiboard top/bottom plate.

A solid plate which mounts between the uprights with 4of m6x35 bolts and square nuts (hex will also work, I think)                                    

Takes a 8x8 multiboard tile, fastens with a “big thread” at each corner, and/or a M6 screw at the centre.

I use the top to mount a 10" screen for a HP elitedesk800 g3 which fits nicely on the shelf

-

Top/Bottom Plates.

or shelves. 

I've added these to allow a m6 threaded rod to pass all the way through - it adds a lot of strength to a “double wide” rack. 

Various designs, some with m6 threaded holes on 25mm spacing, one to take a 8x6 multiboard tile.

A design based off Chris Borge's modular block idea for his ten inch rack:

I wanted to build a rack using the design in the above video, but at the time of releasing this model, there were no files available, so I made a “best guess”.

Watch his video for an idea of how it's used.
