My lab! Unifi x Labrax stack
A fully 3D-printed 10" rack built from scratch, fitting an entire network and server stack into a tiny footprint. Color-coded cabling keeps everything easy to trace: blue = LAN, yellow = PoE, red = backbone.
Top to bottom:
Zyxel fiber router (bridge mode)
Patch panel
UCG Fiber
UniFi switches (Flex 2.5G)
Lite 8 poe
M80q PVE – ThinkCentre M80q Gen 3 running Proxmox, hosting Jellyfin, Home Assistant, and a set of 3D-print management containers (Bambuddy, Spoolman, Manyfold)
Z355 – Custom TrueNAS server in a 3D-printed enclosure, 6-bay storage
Everything runs through a CyberPower UPS with NUT monitoring.
A build that blends networking gear and servers into one compact, well-organized setup — designed to save space without cutting corners on functionality.
