3D Printer Rack Designs In Aluminum Extrusion

We have designed, built and filmed three 3D printer racks, each in aluminum extrusion and a fusion of materials. Every one is available as a design download: the full 3D model in STEP and Shapr3D, a cut list, drilling diagrams showing which jig goes where, and links to the exact hardware we used.

Which Rack Suits You

  • Studio Rack. A 3.3 metre aluminum extrusion workbench built to be the permanent home of an entire 3D print farm. More than 900 individual components, concealed wiring, lighting running inside the extrusion, a grounded frame, bolted to the wall.
  • 3D Printer Rack V2. Built-in enclosures for multiple printers, a spacious drawer for supplies, and a dedicated exhaust system that removes printing fumes from every printer.
  • 3D Printer Rack V1. The original: built-in enclosures for multiple printers and a spacious drawer for supplies.

Watch Them Being Built

What You Need To Build One

The plans tell you every length to cut and every hole to drill. The joints are blind joints, a bolt driven through one extrusion into a threaded hole in the other, completely hidden. Our precision jigs put those holes exactly where they must go with a hand drill. The drilling diagrams in each download show which jig each joint calls for.

Would you rather not source the parts? Ask us. On request, we can put together a complete kit for a design and ship it to you. Contact us.
