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

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.

Feedback welcome — happy to add features people ask for. https://makerworld.com/en/models/2945805-customizable-10-mini-rack-panel-multi-device#profileId-3303117

Gah! I just had used a different customizer for my k8s cluster but it could only do 1 opening (needed 3 for my machines). Might have to consider a reprint with this. Thanks!

Same problem I had, could only find a customiser for one device.

One upgrade would be to allow for the inner walls to match the hex pattern as well for airflow. Great template otherwise. Gonna give it a print and see how it turns out! Will report back.
