Brocade 1U Fibre Channel Switch Rack Ears

thingiverse

I designed this for a Brocade 300 FC Switch, i've also tested compatibility with a Brocade 5100B.This is specifically designed for a 1U short-depth FC switch. It might work with a 2U, but it can most likely not support the weight. Also, I expect this will not work with regular non-Brocade switches. Brocade has mounting holes in the centre of their rack ears, which is fairly unusual. I had to make this myself because there was no other models that I could find.Note: This uses M4 Machine Screws for mounting on the Brocade 300, that's what this is designed for. I make no promises for anything other than the Brocade 300.This is a symmetrical print - So it will work for both sides of the switch.I printed my test print at 25%, which worked well - But it bends with only the top 2 cage nuts attached. I recommend printing at at least 50% infill, in addition to using all 4 cage nuts to help spread the load. At 25% with all 4 connected it appears to be stable.There are 3 models attached. A "regular" where each rack ear is 10mm thick, and then 2 derivatives of 8mm and 6mm thick respectively. My 10mm does not allow me to use machine screws with thick heads on it, so the thinner versions should allow up to 4mm deep heads on screws for mounting. I do recommend using thin washers as well, to provide some additional load-spreading and prevent the screw deforming the plastic too much as you screw into it.
