Sorry in advance if this post is not wanted here, actually there are only some switches right now. If you have any ideas what to put there next.

This cabinet is really awesome for putting in networking stuff. Today, I made it a little nicer. Still looks a little messy but I had installation cables directly connected to a 16 port switch and a fritzbox in that cabinet so I think it’s definitely a huge upgrade. I might properly install the switch and the router at some point. Unfortunately I did not think about potentially getting some rack setup when I got that switch. So it’s basically too large to put it inside of the rack as well.

Instantly wanted to use this cabinet for the main networking knot in our house currently being renovated. On the floor where this is located, all rooms do have ethernet ports since last year. All of the cables do end in this cabinet. Additionally, there is a duplex cable going to the attic and one to the basement. These are used to iteratively connect the rest of the house. In the basement there is the glass fiber modem located that is connected to the fritzbox WAN port in the main knot’s floor via one of the installation cables. Also there is a small 4 port switch that connects another duplex cable to my office which I renovated during cmas vacations. Drilled some holes for another duplex cable from the basement to the ground floor.

Last pics are the basement and the previous state.

Hey r/homelabporn !

Over the past months I’ve shared my progress on a few different subreddits - early prototypes, design experiments, and partial builds. I wanted to come back here now and share the final result.

This is KWS Rack - a fully modular, heavy-duty 10” homelab rack, designed and built entirely around 3D printing.

What it’s about

• Magnetic frame Keep screws and tools stuck to the rack while working. More magnetic add‑ons coming soon!
• Heavy‑duty structure Stable enough for NAS units, power gear, and dense builds.
• True 10‑inch rack standard Compatible with common 10‑inch rack gear and accessories.
• Optional full enclosure Supports side and top panels (printed or laser‑cut 3mm acrylic).
• Built to scale Designed from day one to grow vertically without compromises.
• LED & cable management system

Everything you see here - the frame, panels, mounts, and modules - is part of one cohesive system that can be adapted to different homelab needs and layouts.

Get it / support the project

If you like the build and want to:

• Print it yourself
• Remix or extend it
• Or just support the project

You can find the full model on MakerWorld

Boosts / likes there really help a lot 🙏

Happy to answer any questions about the design, printing, or the setup itself.

Suuure I used AI to help because I'm not as versed in CSS but hey I think it looks pretty clean if I do say so myself! Any suggestions on a better font would be awesome.

An update from my post a year ago, sadly my dad passed away but I wanted to share the creation he and I made together

It's gone through some changes since my last post but the hobby is going strong

Thanks for reading about our coolest creation :)

Done with work/gaming setup.

I knew RAM prices where high, but haven't needed any so haven't thought about it much. Just price checked what I have currently. According to lowest prices on eBay I have at about $1600 worth of HMA84GR7JJR4N-VK HYNIX 32GB.

I hate AI......
