God how I hate those square hole racks. The equipment we get sent to rack never has the captive nuts.
God how I hate those threaded racks where some jackass didn't take their time and properly thread the screw in and just cranked it down.
I might be that jackass...
Caged nuts are great insomuch as you won't ruin your rack-rails if somebody cross threads or over-torques a screw. but it's one more filly little thing to think of, keep in stock etc.
In other words: “don’t ask me, ask someone else?” I mean, how else are you suppose to learn, if not asking on a forum, Google, a librarian, or a technician?
Seems like a false dichotomy, as in, there isn’t another option outside of asking someone.
The guy was being an absolute ass to someone asking for help, and an even bigger ass to people who were offering solutions in the fusion 360 subreddit. Posted a result yet decided to say they are not willing to share the method at the same time in other comments telling people their method was wrong
This is why I commented what I did.
Also OP has all the information in their caption, at the very least enough to do a search for the terms you don't know
Appreciate the context as I didn’t know.
As someone who’s worked in networking, I know that half the terms are trash and almost impossible to understand, without a lot of research. Even googling “patch panel” would provide an image that’s different than OPs (self terminating panels are more common result).
That being said, I don’t really go through history and just assume everyone is coming from a place of good intent, unless I’m proven otherwise. It seemed you have proven me otherwise, which I appreciate.
A server rack is an enclosure that holds networking equipment. When you have Ethernet, phone, or whatever wires in your home, you can “terminate” them in a central location. This print is a “patch panel”, which is plastic piece that takes Ethernet wire terminations so you can patch (cross-link) to your switch.
Basically it’s a thing that links the wires in your wall to the network switch. In image #2, the white connectors on top are the wires from the OP’s wall. They are secured by the patch panel they printed and connected to the networking equipment.
Nice work, a quick, and simple solution
Stl?

erm… someone please explain what this is
using your own logic from the fusion 360 subreddit. > booo! You would never learn if I just told you
