19" Raspberry Pi Server Rack

## 19" (1U) Raspberry Pi Server Rack Mount Simple and cheap (but very useful) 19" rack mount for Raspberry Pis. Extra required parts are: - 4 x 10mm M3 Screws (4 per caddy) - 4 x M3 Nuts (4 per caddy) - 8mm x 450mm Aluminium Rod - (Optional) Super Glue I bought my rod from a local hardware store, it cost about £5 for 8mm x 1000mm. I offered this up to the 19" opening in my server rack, marked it and cut it down. 1 x 1m rod is fine for one of these rack mounts (multiply as necessary). I've designed it so the rods push fit into the ear however, you may use a dab of super glue to make it extra string. You can fit 5 - 6 Pi's in 1U of space if you use right angled power adapters. In my case, I can only fit 4 because of the protrusion of the power cables. The caddy design allows you to pull the Pis out for maintenance without the need to disassemble the whole thing. ### Inspiration I've seen many awesome attempts at a rack mount system for the Raspberry Pi however, most of them take many hours and material to make. I wanted to design something cheap and simple. You can print the ears + 1 caddy in just under 2 hrs.
