#MKlements created some modules to use his #LabRax as a NAS, powered with either a Pi5 or a Zimaboard2:

Now I'm even more curious how my version will perform, so I finally purchased the missing items. While I'm waiting for the HDDs, I fitted the caddies into their frame and put the Pi together.

Today, I saw a meme stating "men will literally build a kubernetes cluster at home instead of going to therapy". I am not into kubernetes at all, but created this 10-inch rack in the course of the last couple of weeks. Currently, I am waiting for SATA adapters and HDD trays to continue the project.

The #LabRax design originates from #MKlements, and the individual modules were existing designs as well. However, I finally gained some CAD skills and might be able to create new modules on my own.

Since I have had the "pleasure" of unstable internet and a nationwide blackout here in Spain in the last 30 days I have started working on putting together a small server, mini router and other tools I could use in another blackout and/or internet outage.

I decided to use #MKlements fantastic #LabRax 10" 5U #3DPrinted rack solution and I am printing it out as we speak. Mine will be all #PETG and all in black but I might change out some of the parts later if I buy other colors of PETG.

Now printing plate number two and getting the screws and inserts hopefully before the weekend ends.
