SG2016P Switch Rack Ears
Created 1 months ago
Description
Desktop switches left dangling by their patch cables or sliding around on top of rack gear are a preventable mess. These custom rack ears bolt right into the side of a TP-Link SG2016P, bridging the gap to a standard 19-inch server rack so it actually stays put.
Fit and Fabrication
- Span: Bridges an 89.5mm gap per side (assumes a 286mm wide switch).
- Side Mounting: Features three generous slots rather than fixed holes, accommodating variations in where TP-Link drills their chassis. Uses standard M3 or M4 screws.
- Rack Mounting: Standard 1U slotted holes (31.75mm center-to-center).
- Printing: Both ears lay flat on their front face. Zero supports required. Print in PETG or ABS if your rack runs hot, though standard PLA is structurally fine for a switch this light.

VoltGrid — Print-in-Place Battery Case
A high-capacity, print-in-place storage case holding 104 AA batteries in a skeletal, material-saving grid. Designed specifically for FDM printing without supports. Features Zero Assembly: Prints flat with a fully integrated, captive 45-degree cone hinge mechanism. Just pop it off the bed and fold it closed. Skeletal Organizer: The lower grid provides 0.4 mm of clearance for 14.5 mm diameter AA batteries, but uses open walls to drastically cut filament usage and print time compared to solid block designs. Snap Latch: A flexible cantilever tab locks the lid securely down over a heavy chamfered ledge on the bottom box. Dimensions Flat Printing Footprint: 228 mm × 292 mm Closed Dimensions: 228 mm (W) × 142 mm (D) × 60 mm (H) Capacity: 104 cells (13 × 8 grid)
Side-Pinned 40-Quarter Dispenser
A gravity-fed mechanical magazine for standard U.S. quarters. The vertical tube stores up to 36 coins, while a sliding escapement mechanism stages and drops exactly four quarters ($1) per full pull. Design and Fitment Capacity: 40 quarters maximum (36 in the tube, 4 seated in the slider). Clearances: The magazine bore is 25.2 mm (oversized from the 24.26 mm quarter) to prevent binding, with a 28.8 mm x 7.6 mm slider track for horizontal travel. Structural Details: The base of the primary magazine tube features a 4 mm flared buttress, preventing shear failure across the layer lines when fully loaded. Hardware: Fully printed, no external fasteners or springs required. The side-mounted 4.0 mm stopper pin captures the slider in the track and sets the 26 mm travel limit.
104-Cell AA Battery Vault

It swings down to snap automatically over a retaining ledge on the base, holding the lid firmly shut until you pull the finger grip outward. Clearance: 0.4 mm gap on all latch and hinge mechanisms Lid Mechanism: Print-in-place folded hinge Print Layout: Prints fully open and flat on the bed
