Summary

Thank you to @Krapozok for coming up with a modular Raspberry Pi rack design.

I didn't want to buy the frame that these modules sit within, so printed them!

The frame is still 2U in height, and comes in 8 parts due to the print size restrictions of my Ender 3 Pro, although in hindsight I could have made it in 6. There's the left and right parts (2UFrL & 2UFrR which are actually the same), then top and bottom centre pieces 2UFrTC and 2UFrBC which are again the same.

The pieces bolt together using M4 bolts and nuts. I suggest 14-16mm in length.

The frame includes spacing holes for not just the v1 modules from Krapozok but also anything of half the size, allowing greater mounting options.

It's personal preference, however I suggest brass knurls be purchased (5mm OD, 3mm length, M3 thread) and are press inserted then heat sealed into the frame for module fixings.

This is part of a much bigger project I'm doing on fault-tolerant home automation (using Raspbery Pis). I'll be releasing another Thing in due course focusing on the modules with some modifications, environmental control of this rack and GPS NTP units. Follow me for more info.
