[Feature Request] 10-Inch Mini Rack

[TeaRex-coder]

Hey Jazwa!

I saw your post on r/homelab and this seems like a super cool project!

I'd be down to print rackstack in a 10-inch mini rack form factor. I tried to do this myself but couldn't figure out how to do so in OpenSCAD :(

The changes that would have to be made are:

• Increase width to 10 inches (currently possible by adding a custom profile in rackFrame.scad)
• Use the EIA-310 rack unit spacing
• Accommodate M6 hardware for rack mount-items
• Increase mainRail.scad width and depth to accommodate larger M6 hardware

Thanks for your project, and if you're able to do this I'd 100% be down to test a prototype!

This has been requested by a couple of people already. I'll look into when I get the time. (I don't think it'll be a lot of work, but I'm probably going to eat those words later.) Thank you for your interest!

Hi there, I just found your project and it looks amazing! I’m interested in printing a 10” version of this too and was wondering if either of you had got any further with the required changes? Thanks!

I'm new to networking racks and openSCAD, but am I correct that items 2-4 in the OP are only needed if you're trying to make the printed rack compatible with standard 10" mini racks?

In other words, if I was going to stick to the rackstack ecosystem and print my own mounts for switches, routers, etc., would I only need the first item?

Increase width to 10 inches (~255mm) (currently possible by adding a custom profile in rackFrame.scad)

Thanks!

That's right, you would only need to increase the width to 10" from the outing of each rail or ~9.312" from the inside. Then you could use Rackstack's uniform hole spacing and M3 hardware.

That's the only thing that i have to do, how to get the 10 inch mounting in the front, the squares?
