I liked a few of the VSOs that were posted earlier and wanted to share two of my more recent creations.

This mount screws into an exposed 2x4 and lets me get my Synology DS418, its power brick, and UPS (APC BE600M1) off a table and into a lower dust area of my basement.

I'll upload the STLs to printables if anyone is interested, but be warned that the parts are fairly large.

In the spirit of showing parts under unflattering lighting, here's (nearly) the same angle with a different light source.

Totally agree in the long term. For the time being, I've been focusing a bit more on posting in general interest communities. Even larger communities, like this one, aren't that active. I think this was the first post in 24 hours and a good day is something like 3 posts. Fragmenting conversation and duplicating posts probably isn't the answer - at least not right now.

See also: fixmyprint, Vorondesign, etc. I was fairly active in both on Reddit, but they're ghost towns here and most of the content that would have gone there on Reddit is in this single community instead.

That said, feel free to crosspost if you like.

Much quieter than it was a few months ago.
