I've seen so many 10" servers that look amazing from the front and very polished, but then having a rats nest of cables and a mess at the back.
After 62 iterations and many 3D prints, blood, sweat, profanity and tears. I my design and implementation is finally done.
I used Hexagons where possible, because as you know, Hexagons are the bestagons
This is Before:
And the After:
The ducky adds 200MHz
The front of my mini-rack is actually still somewhat of a mess, I thought I'd focus on the back first.
I've published it in excruciating detail on my GitHub Leave a Star if you like what you see.
I self host a bunch of stuff on here to get away from Big-Tech, and because I find it fun. For a lot more details see https://erasmus.works/
It always bothered me the the fronts of racs are modular, but not the backs, this solves that
If you have any questions feel free to ask, hopefully this helps other clear up their rats nests.
@Legion739 nice, good job as they say. Mine will never look neat and tidy but I appreciate the pics all the same.
Thanks!! Designing it was a BITCH, I knew almost nothing about CAD going into this, but hopefully my designs can help some others cleanup the power side of their racks.
It was a lot of fun learning though, and now I've made proper use of my 3D printer.
@Legion739 oh, I see you have a printer! Which one?
I have the Anycubic Kobra X, you can buy it for 280 Euro including 4 roles of filament.
It's the first one I ever got, great price and quality for getting your feet wet with 3D printing. My boy-math figured that it will pay for itself eventually by printing things instead of buying.
@Legion739 thanks, I'll look it up for the future.
