Lab Rax 10" Server Rack - Bolted Version - 5U

Lab Rax is a fully 3D printable, modular 10-inch server rack for homelabs. Perfect for Raspberry Pi setups, mini PCs, and networking gear, this DIY rack is cost-effective, easy to assemble, and highly customizable. 

This is an adapted version of my original Lab Rax project which used brass inserts. This version has been modified to only use standard M6 or #10-32 button head screws and M6 or #10-32 nuts for assembly. 

All you need to complete this basic 5U rack is;

Metric;

M6x12mm Button Head Screws (16 Required For Frame + Additional For Racks) - Buy Here

Optional Black Version of Above to Match Print - Buy Here

M6 Nuts (16 Required For Frame + Additional For Racks) - Buy Here

Imperial;

#10-32 x 1/2 Button Head Screws (16 Required For Frame + Additional For Racks) - Buy Here

Optional Black Version of Above to Match Print - Buy Here

#10-32 Nuts (16 Required For Frame + Additional For Racks) - Buy Here

Gluing the nuts into the back of the vertical posts makes it much easier to install and remove racks - Recommended Glue

This version assembles in the same way as the original but screws go in from the opposite side (nuts on the inside in the hexagon cavities).

The handles, feet and all panels are compatible with the original version. Only the 12 edges are different.
