Ubiquiti Mini Rack

<p>Over the summer I ran about 1000ft of CAT6 cable for my surveillance cameras and network drops to all bedrooms. My network was lacking before so at the same time I made the switch to an entire Ubiquiti managed network system. Since most of my network equipment is in the basement I wanted a nice way to keep it neat looking. Ubiquiti equipment does get quite warm, and everywhere I looked stacking one piece on the other wasn’t the best idea nor recommended option. I didn’t want to do a full size server cabinet since it was overkill for my application. I searched the web and couldn’t find much other than <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/7p245e/ubiquiti_unifi_3d_printed_mini_rack_sneak_peek/?st=JSH0E0I5&amp;sh=8a2b3660">this</a> that a user on reddit came up with. Using that design as my inspiration I totally redesigned it for the specific equipment I am using in my house and 3d printed the parts. I understand the entire design may not be of use to everyone but the pieces are modular so you do not have to use all of them.</p> <p>My current network consists of:</p> <ul> <li>Arris SVG2482AC Cable Modem</li> <li>Ubiquiti UniFi Security Gateway</li> <li>Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key</li> <li>Ubiquiti UniFi US-8-150W Switch</li> </ul> <p>The Security Gateway and Cloud Key insert as well as the patch panel do require heat set M3 brass inserts. The ones I used were M3x5mm long and 4mm in diameter. To prevent the shelf that the USG/CK sit on from sagging there are two legs for it.</p> <p>Patch panel is made to accept CAT5e/CAT6 keystone jacks, I used <a href="https://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=302&amp;cp_id=30204&amp;cs_id=3020401&amp;p_id=5384&amp;seq=1&amp;format=2">these</a> from MonoPrice.</p> <p>Hardware you will need if used exactly as I have it in the pictures:</p> <ul> <li>12x Heat set M3x5mm long, 4mm diameter (two for each side of the patch panel, two for each side of the USG/CK insert, four for the legs for the insert)</li> <li>4x M3x6mm SHCS legs for USG/CK insert</li> <li>8x M3x20mm SHCS for patch panel to side legs and for USG/CK to side legs</li> </ul> <p>Side legs only need supports from buildplate. None of the other parts require supports. All parts are oriented the correct way for printing. Parts are optimized for printing with PETG. I used a 15% infill which was plenty with grid pattern. All parts are printed in Atomic CF PETG.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>i3 MK3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>15%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Atomic CF PETG Black</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>Parts are optimized for printing with PETG.</p></div> </p></p></p> Category: Computer
