- ***No cage nuts!*** Sliding hex nut design for the front rails allows one to easily mount items without dealing with cage nuts.
- ***Stackable:*** Individual racks can be easily stacked and fastened together. Mix and match different color and design combinations!

## Assembly
Pre-generated STLs for roughly 200mm^3 (mini), 180mm^3 (micro), and 100mm^3 (nano) rack frames can be found in [stl](stl).

| [Y-Bar](./rack/print/yBar_P.scad) | 4 |
| [X-Bar](./rack/print/xBar_P.scad) | 4 |
| [Main Rail](./rack/print/mainRail_P.scad) | 4 |
| [Left Magnet Module](./rack/print/magnetModuleLeft_P.scad) | 2 |
| [Right Magnet Module](./rack/print/magnetModuleRight_P.scad) | 2 |
| [Hinge Module](./rack/print/hingeModule.scad) | 4 |
| [Left Side Wall](./rack/print/sideWallLeft_P.scad) | 1 |
| [Right Side Wall](./rack/print/sideWallRight_P.scad) | 1 |
| [XY-Plate](./rack/print/xyPlate_P.scad) | 2 |
| [Feet](./rack/print/feet_P.scad) (optional) | 2 |
#### Notes:
- Omitted actual plastic for printing. Any conventional 3d printing plastic should do (PLA, PETG, ABS),
but beware of PLA's thermal limits. Higher infill is recommended for all parts.
- For joining two racks, you will need 8 M3 hex nuts, and 8 M3x12 FHCS.
- For joining two racks, you will need to print 4 [stackConnectorDuals](./rack/print/stackConnectorDual_P.scad), as well as 8 M3 hex nuts, and 8 M3x12 FHCS.
- Main front rails use M4 hex nuts and screws.
- Side rails are mounted using M3 hex nuts and screws.
## Configuring + Generating STLs
A python script: `rbuild.py` is provided to generate different project stls.
