I liked a few of the VSOs that were posted earlier and wanted to share two of my more recent creations.
This mount screws into an exposed 2x4 and lets me get my Synology DS418, its power brick, and UPS (APC BE600M1) off a table and into a lower dust area of my basement.
I’ll upload the STLs to printables if anyone is interested, but be warned that the parts are fairly large.
In the spirit of showing parts under unflattering lighting, here’s (nearly) the same angle with a different light source.
What kind of filament is that printed with and are you concerned about it failing over time? Especially if there’s spinning disks in there I’d be paranoid as hell about it falling.
This scares the hell out of me. Too much risk of damage. Heat, weight, and time.
There’s basically no heat involved. It sounds like you’re worried about creap, which is totally fair and something to be aware of. The parts are printed out of ASA and are very overbuilt, so there shouldn’t be any cause for concern.

It looks beefy enough to me
I’d print it but using ABS
It’s ASA, it’ll be fine :)
Yeah. That’ll be good.
This man has never heard of 3d2a :P
It’s printed out of ASA, which basically doesn’t creap. It’s also wayyyy overbuilt for the amount of weight it’s supporting. I’m not at all worried about it failing over time.
As long as it’s not pla. That’s a ticking time bomb.
It’s ASA, should be more than fine :)
very [email protected] appropriate, too.
Totally agree in the long term. For the time being, I’ve been focusing a bit more on posting in general interest communities. Even larger communities, like this one, aren’t that active. I think this was the first post in 24 hours and a good day is something like 3 posts. Fragmenting conversation and duplicating posts probably isn’t the answer - at least not right now.
See also: fixmyprint, Vorondesign, etc. I was fairly active in both on Reddit, but they’re ghost towns here and most of the content that would have gone there on Reddit is in this single community instead.
That said, feel free to crosspost if you like.
Much quieter than it was a few months ago.
Reminds me of the PS2 with it’s blue triangular stand.
Man, still have to get one of those
Looks fantastic. I recommend also printing a cover for the UPS sockets with removable covers for the plugs you wish to use as it looks like you have quite a bit of dust circulating there
Thanks! The NAS and UPS are now in a closet that’s fairly dust free. Before they were in my basement and fairly close to the cat box and my woodshop. Getting everything into the lower dust closet was one of my motivators.
I should probably blow the UPS off with my air compressor though…
Looks great! If I had a 3d printer I’d probably try doing the same with my 916+.
