HomeRacker - Plates & Fan Grills
Print Profile(3)



Description
I needed some custom sized plates for my new HomeRacker setup, so this is what I came up with.Ā
Easy and fast way to enclose your new HomeRacker setup for the more professional look š
Now with Fan grills / Exhaust holes!
I do recommend you test your margins before you print a full panel using the margin tester!

Share your custom plates!
Things You Can Customize
- Size in HomeRacker Units
- Thickness of Plate
- Color
- Toggling off surface plate holes
- Turning on and off ears
- Corner Cutouts for HomeRacker Connectors
- Removing hole flaps per size.
- Interlacing Flaps
- Debug Mode (Ensure you turn this off before saving your models!)
- Interlacing flaps (Added by request from @pete25r)
- Added the ability to cut off certain areas of the flaps. Two cut objects per side.
- Guide for cutting. This displays a red block where the cut will be performed.
- Interlaced Ears. Requested by @Osku
- Margin adjustments for Ears & Flaps.
- Now on github: https://github.com/PanicPasta/HomeRacker-Plates-and-Grills . Feel free to let me know features to add via Github or here on Makerworld.
Basic SVG Embed. You can add SVGs to the outside of your plates! I will expand on this in the future.

Added Fan Grills / Vent Holes to the model. I only own an A1 Mini so I haven't been able to test larger plates / fan grills but please let me know in the comments if you have any issues. Requested by @user_666121754.

New features as of 1.4.1
- Fixed issue where the right and left cutout positions were not calculated correctly.
- Added margins to all cutouts. Requested by https://makerworld.com/en/@user_985253575

[2026-01-25] - Version 1.4.1
- Fixed issue where the right and left cutout positions were not calculated correctly.
- Added margins to all cutouts. Requested by https://makerworld.com/en/@user_985253575
[2026-01-25] - Version 1.4
- Fixed the core code base and optimized for an OpenSource release. Now on github: https://github.com/PanicPasta/HomeRacker-Plates-and-Grills . Feel free to let me know features to add via Github or here on Makerworld.
- Fixed some adjustment fits with the corners.
- Fixed a bug where the thickness of the plate wouldnt scale the holes correctly. Ā
[2025-12-19] - Version 1.3
- Added Fan Grills / Vent Holes to the model. I only own an A1 Mini so I haven't been able to test larger plates / fan grills but please let me know in the comments if you have any issues. Requested by @user_666121754.
[2025-12-10] - Version 1.2
- Added Interlaced Ears. Requested by @Osku
- Added margins for interlaced Ears & Flaps. This will make it easier to adjust for fit of the plates with each other.
- Added basic SVG embed to base of plate.
- Created a basic test model to print and test fit of margins.
[2025-11-18] - Version 1.1
- I have reworked the customizable SCAD to now allow for cutouts and interlacing of flaps. This makes it easier to have multiple plates size by side on one frame.
- Added a Debug option to display each side of the model. Makes it easier to find which side is which.
Made some small adjusts to fit for the SCAD.

I have had quite a few failed prints in this process, if this model helped you consider boosting me to help me print more mistakes
