3D Printed Mini Rack Section

[paulgrove]

I have added some 3D printable options as an alternative to commercial products.

Full disclosure - I am the creator of the Cube rack available for free under a CC license on printable - a fully printed stackable mini-rack that you can build with only a 3d printer and some mounting hardware.

Thanks! I had actually been adding systems as I've gone to this part of the site: https://mini-rack.jeffgeerling.com/#3d-printable-systems

Maybe we could move that up under the 10" mini racks section instead?

I would have liked to see something like this list under the #racks heading on the main guide. I actually ended up designing my own rack because when I looked at the "3D Printed" section, it was all for 3D printed rack accessories and shelf units and nothing about building the rack itself. (And for @paulgrove: I'll be sure to let you know once I write up a guide and publish all my files; Jorge's hybrid design looks so lonely on your list 😄)

I spent the afternoon pulling together what I had from my first build and writing a little assembly guide. Here it is! https://github.com/axiopaladin/ButterflyRack

It uses metal rails for the vertical axis, and 3D printed brackets to set the width/depth. It's currently disassembled while I work on some improvements so I don't have any glamor shots ready right now, but here's a photo I made for the build guide:

Should it have a sub-section for 3d printed accessories?

I did something really similar, and I even used dovetail connectors! 😀

I used some 12" 2020 extrusion for the depth, but I wanted the width to be dialed in to the spec so I used printed parts for that.

There are some other nice 3D printed 10 inch racks that can be added to this:

@diminDDL for Rackfinity, we already have it on the site, but under a different name — see #103

[Edit: Oh, apparently not! I have his CNC controller thing as a showcase, but his rack system is not in the listing!]
