Modular 1U Relay Rack Mount for (18) Keystone Jacks

thingiverse

These are nine port keystone jack receiver modules designed specifically for my 1U modular relay rack mount system. Each module can be used independently or in conjunction with other modules that hold switches, and they require the central module from the original design found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3690500 I based these modules on MWU's thing, which can be viewed here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:548145 Additionally, I used pyr0ball's remix of MWU's model to assist in the design process. To ensure successful printing, it is essential to orient the modules correctly. I printed these at 0.25mm resolution with tree supports and utilized the support blocker feature in Cura to avoid unnecessary supports above the first 12mm of the print. The printing process went smoothly, and installation has been functioning flawlessly. However, a small sag in the center module was noticeable, which could have been prevented by gluing the parts together before assembly or by using screws with more torque. Alternatively, it may be attributed to the disassembly and reassembly of the unit after initial construction, causing loose joints. Nonetheless, I am satisfied with the overall performance and strength of the modules. Mounting a blank cover or another steel panel below the printed part would provide additional support and prevent sagging. Since this module is currently situated on the bottom shelf in my rack, a makeshift solution could be implemented to lend stability to the plastic printed components. The keystones fit snugly into place and remain securely positioned. I am utilizing the same keystone jacks depicted in the accompanying images. Update: On 2-21-2020, reibuehl's remix of the door offers an alternative, simpler, and easier-to-install (hardware-free) door option that is worth exploring: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4382663
