My surname is Erasmus

I want it to be modular, so if I add another 2 servers, I can just add the server module in front, and its power module at the back.

Nice thanks!! You can get a 3D printer for fairly cheap to get started, the one I have is only 280 Euro now with 4 spools of filament

Nice thanks, that sounds good. I’d definitely only want to push to one place, if it then syncs to GitHub that’s fine.

Thanks yea I’ve used Codeberg before, but the main reason I use GitHub, is I try to create a good looking profile to point potential new Clients to when I’m looking for a new job, explaining Codeberg to them I feel is a step too much, and my income is Priority Nr1.

I’ll fight the Open-Source, anti-Big-Tech fight elsewhere.

Sure thing, there’s lots more details on my GitHub Write-Up including how to wire it up etc.

Yea each one runs through the previous module, so all the power goes through the first module.

IEC 13/14 connectors are rated for 10A (2300 W at 230 V) which isn’t much lower than what you can run through your wall outlet.

That’s very high, to give you an idea the 6 things I have plugged in draws ~240w, so I could chain up ~60 mini PC’s and only then would I be over the ~2300w limit.

I do now mention this in the Safety section of my “How to build this” write up

Thanks yea I made sure to add this Safety section to my write-up on how to build this yourself, and I reference back to it a lot, so it’s painfully clear.

I printed this in PETG, but ideally you use UL 94 V-0. I did make sure everything is very well insulated, and pulled hard on every connection to make sure it’s held down properly.

Safety

This part carries live mains. Mains wiring kills people who get it wrong, and a fault in a printed enclosure can start a fire.

Do not build it unless you are competent to wire mains and permitted to do so where you live. Sleeve or shroud all live terminals. PLA softens around 60 °C, PETG around 80 °C. Neither is flame retardant. Only a UL 94 V-0 filament is.

Wire the protective earth if anything you plug in needs it.

Build it at your own risk. I take no responsibility for injury, death, fire, or damage resulting from anything in this repository.

I have the Anycubic Kobra X, and used Onshape to 3D model things, it’s fairly easy to do. I for some reason just decided to make something incredibly complicated lol.

Lots of good YouTube tutorials out there to teach you everything you’d need to know.

I have the Anycubic Kobra X, you can buy it for 280 Euro including 4 roles of filament.

It’s the first one I ever got, great price and quality for getting your feet wet with 3D printing. My boy-math figured that it will pay for itself eventually by printing things instead of buying.

Thanks!! Designing it was a BITCH, I knew almost nothing about CAD before this, but hopefully my designs can help some others cleanup the power side of their racks.

Preemptively responding to this, because I just know there’s going to be a comment about this.

Yes Yes I know, GitHub, screw GitHub, Screw Microslop. I am trying to move away from Big Tech as much as possible, but it’s a marathon not a sprint, and every win should be celebrated.

Perfection is the enemy of good.
