Description

This is a 19" 2U rack frame that can hold 2 boxes.

It was designed to hold 2 boxes, 4U x 4U x 6U Gridfinity boxes by Pred (https://www.printables.com/model/543553-gridfinity-storage-box-by-pred-now-parametric), but it will hold any other boxes with similar measurements.

The Frame is printed in multiple pieces, and while they can all print on the same plate, i recommend splitting them onto multiple plates.

The frame is friction fit, and intentionally a tight fit, but I have not had any problems assembling it.

This has not been optimized to save plastic

I printed with Generic PLA, 0.4 nozzle, 0.20mm Standard profile

I did not use any supports

Assembly:

Press together the front parts, then push the assembly towards a table or something to make sure it is flush.

At the end, install the rear beams for added strength.

I'll post a pic as soon as I get home and remember to take it -- one question/request is there any way to move the center "supports/walls" together? I would like to print it so that I can use with one of my NUCs that just misses fitting ... if the ribs/walls/supports were in the center it would be perfection... If I had the Fusion file I'd do it quick and share ;)

hello, sorry i didnt see this before. Thanks for the comment! I can share the FreeCad file. Not sure why i didn't already. I can try to fix it for you also though, but I am not 100% sure I understand. Do you want to move the two split walls closer together (all the way even?) while maintaining the same front opening? Or should this increase also? I fear that if we do the first (move the walls, but keep opening the same), the normal gridfinity boxes wont have any sideways support and might move around abit, so i might have to modify the model specifically for the NUCs. I'll upload the FreeCad shortly

Hello again, i see that the FreeCad file is already uploaded. It confused me that one has to click "Download STL" to get to it.
