LTO Tape 3U Rack Storage Unit

thingiverse

This is a storage unit that can be mounted into a 19" rack to hold LTO tapes in their cases. It consists of two halves that can each hold seven tapes, allowing printing without requiring a printer capable of handling 19" width but still necessitating approximately 10" wide print bed space. The holder also accommodates RDX media and most smaller tapes, although it cannot securely hold (S)DLT tapes in their cases due to its limited dimensions. **Essential Note:** Owing to the substantial weight of LTO tapes (approximately 250g per tape), you will likely want to add horizontal support afterward. Additionally, depending on the material used, consider reinforcing the mounting ears for added stability. The OpenSCAD file permits customization of this storage unit.
