I was thinking to buy some Lack tables from Ikea to stack up for the 3D Printers but after looking how cheaply they’re built I decided to use my 20U half rack.
With a shelf on the bottom and a shelf on the top it works perfectly to hold two printers. The rack is only 20×20 inches and since it’s a frame rack I can add other things to it down the road.
Already I am planning to add the tool board on the middle area to help stabilize the rack and will also give me a spot to mount the power supplies.
I might grab the drawer from the full rack and raise the bottom shelf some for it but I might run into issues for the filament spool.
On the other side of the wall is the Dining room and there is an outlet I can tap into to bring an outlet into the closet on that wall. With it being in this closet I still have plenty of room with my cloths and built in desk I made.
Speaking of the rest of the Mini Shop here is the built in desk.
It’s not much but I’ve only been in here a week. The desk was simple. I located the studs and cut a 2×4 to run along the back wall then added the sides. Had to use toggle bolts for the sides. Added another 2×4 to run across the middle as a stabilizer and added a 1/2inch MDF top. I had a piece of baseboard leftover from building the bedroom wall from the old house and used some finish nails. Since this was a work station I didn’t bother to paint it since the paint would just get scratched up so a huge mouse pad works fine for the time being. Later on I might invest in a anti-static mat or dye the wood.
