Modular Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 Rack

thingiverse

This is a modular rack designed for Raspberry Pi systems. The height can be fully adjusted to suit individual needs. Optional components include housing for the switch and power module, as well as fan layers. For a personal project, I built a three-level rack with a switch and power boxes. Some photos of this setup are included below. You will also find the hardware list for this project. - One Raspberry Pi 2 and one Raspberry Pi 3 were already owned. - Four Raspberry Pi 4 models (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TC2BK1X) were purchased. - Four MicroSD cards (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HB8SLMV) were acquired. - Four MasterHawk Fans (30x30 mm) (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D5QBFLK) were added. - Four Aukru Thermal Dis (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W9JTDFZ) were used to improve airflow. - One TP-Link TL-SG108E Switch with eight manageable ports was purchased (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JKB63D8). - Six RJ45 patch FTP CAT 5e cables, each measuring 15 cm long, were obtained (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002Q0PHIW). Note: For the third level, use a 25 cm cable instead. - One Anker PowerPort 10 charger with ten USB ports and 60W capacity was purchased (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YTJ45HM). - Four USB Type C to USB adapters, each measuring 10 cm long, were acquired (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074R8SS7Y). Improvements: The Raspberry Pi v2 and v3 models must be installed with an OS and SSH enabled before being inserted into the rack. This is due to the central pillar blocking access to the HDMI port on these models. There is no issue with the Raspberry Pi v4 model.
