Description

The design is optimized for 3D printing. Thanks to clever angles, the model prints almost entirely without the need for cumbersome support structures—saving time, filament, and post-processing. The minimal support structures required can be easily removed after printing. No need for a large printer. 

You can easily secure the Netgear switch to the mounting bracket outside the rack before installation. This eliminates the need for time-consuming and fiddly installation inside the rack. 

Due to the switch's wider dimensions, the bracket must be inserted into the rack at an angle during installation and then secured horizontally. Therefore, there must be sufficient space available for installation. You may need to temporarily remove hardware that is already installed.

Printing

In my case, I used glass-fiber-reinforced PETG. I think regular PETG should be sufficient as well. PLA should not be used due to the potentially higher temperatures inside the rack. 

I used the following slicer settings:

  • Perimeters: 4

  • Infill: 25%

  • Infill Pattern: Gyroid

  • Supports: TreeSupport with a threshold angle of > 35° 

The printout produced with the settings listed above looks solid and feels durable enough. Perhaps you already have more experience and can adjust the settings to suit your needs and requirements.

I'd really appreciate any comments, feedback und your Makes!
