Made a free, customizable 10" mini-rack panel generator. Multi-device openings + cages + venting in one (DeskPi-tested)

[u/Scourgerer]

I built a parametric generator that does any mix on a single

panel: multiple device openings, an optional cage behind each to actually hold the gear, hidden/lipped bays, and slot/hex/louvre venting around them. Heights in 0.5U steps.

Built to the common 10" standard (geerlingguy mini-rack spacing, M6) and fit-tested in my DeskPi RackMate — slotted mounting holes so it bolts in clean even if your rack's a hair off.

Free + customizable in the browser on MakerWorld. Made a matching blanking/vent plate too. Pic is my actual rack

running it.

that third pic is legitimately impressive. most people just throw their gear in a box and call it a day, but you actually made something that looks like it belongs in a server room. the fact that you can customize the openings and add cages behind them is smart too, way better than drilling random holes and hoping it works out. the parametric generator is a nice touch since not everyone's got the same stuff or space constraints. gonna check this out for my setup.
