This is awesome! I have recently gotten 3 Dell Optiplex Micros that I will be adding into my Proxmox cluster. Been thinking about how i am going to rack them, 3d printing a rack seems like an awesome idea!

Nifty rack! I was actually thinking of making something like this for my 2 mini PCs but I have yet to get a 3D printer x)
Funky! I love it. What’s the story on the DIY patch panel? Did you 3D print the chassis and then pop in RJ45 keystones?
For the patch panel, I had to 3D print the panel a few times to make sure the RJ45 jacks fit properly. It took a few tries.
Looks good. What type of plastic did you use? PLA? Any warping from heat?
It's a bit of a mix. Most of the frame is PLA, while the green bits are PETG.
It's been going for well over a year now, and have not seen any warping thankfully.
That's pretty neat! Love the colours
Looks great!
