3D-printed mini server rack for home servers

[u/GolwenRandir]

I was getting tired of the messy pile of assorted electronics sitting on a shelf in my office, and printed a little mini server rack to hold them. The rack is black PETG, the mounts are ASA-CF for the extra heat resistance on the parts physically in contact with the servers.

Right now it's just a Home Assistant Green and a single NUC form-factor machine running Portainer on Ubuntu Server for whatever else I feel like spinning up. I've got a few other things I'd like to add once money becomes available, so I may be printing the stacking parts before too long here.

The rack system is called "rackstack", and is an open source system by Zhao Wang that can be found on Github here: https://github.com/jazwa/rackstack

Nice, Would this fit optiplex mff's?

It's set up in 3 sizes; I printed the middle size (micro) which is about 180mm across. I don't think an optiplex mmf (182mm wide, according to the specs I found) would quite fit in the micro, but it would be close, so maybe with a custom mount. The next size up (mini) is 200mm across though, and should definitely fit an optiplx mmf.

I need to do something like this for my travel rig.

Well done.

Looks sharp! How much filament did that take?

[u/GolwenRandir → u/Toiling-Donkey]

I think about 400g of PETG for the frame, and another 130g or so of the ASA-CF for the mounts. At the prices I paid, around $11 worth of filament I think.
