A free browser tool makes custom 10-inch mini-rack panels
A free custom panel generator is available for . One panel can combine several device openings, and each opening can optionally have a cage behind it to hold the gear in place. It can also create hidden bays and lipped bays so devices sit more neatly in the panel.
Vent holes can be made as slots, hex patterns, or louvres. Panel height can be set in 0.5U steps. The design follows the common 10-inch mini-rack layout, using geerlingguy mini-rack spacing and M6 screws.
It was fit-tested in a DeskPi , and the holes are slotted so the panel can still bolt in cleanly if a rack is slightly off. A blanking plate and vent plate are also available.
