3D printable rack | 10-inch and 6-inch

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, 200mm and 250mm.

This system will accept any 10-inch or 6-inch rack mount. And you can see some options in the collections below:

• 6-inch Rack Mounts.
• 10-inch Rack Mounts.
• 6-inch Rack Accessories.
• 10-inch Rack Accessories.

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.
