I just had to remove the middle node to add a disk, and the rack space + my cabling scheme made everything smooth, and didn't cause any disruptions.

That was the last test to confirm that Lab Rax is awesome. (see the post above in the thread for details about the rack)

New blog post! I 3D printed a 10-inch (10") rack for my homelab. It was a very long project, but very rewarding at the end. Since I had a lot of help from various people on Mastodon and other communities, I felt like it would be important to show what I did. Also I hope that while I'm sharing my thoughts and the process to get there, I would be able to help other people with their own projects. And if my project works as inspiration for yours, I would be very happy if you let me know about it!

My thanks to my wife, who was with me through the entire process. And thanks to @ironicbadger, @jwildeboer, @rachel and @Fishd for their inspiration.

It's still a *little* jank, but I assure you it's much cleaner and professional-looking than before. All it took was some rack rails, 3D-printing, and a little ingenuity. 😁

The #homelab is slowly taking shape. Not sure if putting 6 HDDs in 2 HE is smart, but time and temperature monitoring will tell. Also cable management is harder than initially thought, especially with 6HDDs, 6 Fans and quite a bit of other stuff yet to come. #10inchrack #3DPrinting

After completing most of my second #10inchrack which was going to house my #RaspberryPi #Kubernetes cluster I've decided to go a different route. I'm building a 1U unit to house the Raspberry Pi's, so I'll have to figure out what to do with this little guy
