Hey, makers! If you’re juggling servers in your IT lab like I am, you know how tricky it can be to keep things tidy and efficient. That’s why I’m pumped to share a fantastic 3D printing project I found on MakerWorld: the Screwless Caddy for DELL PowerEdge R Series by printomancy. This clever caddy is a must-have for anyone working with DELL PowerEdge R Series servers, and it’s perfect for my tech-heavy setup!
Why This Caddy is a Game-Changer
This 3D-printed caddy is designed to securely hold drives in DELL PowerEdge R Series servers without the hassle of screws, making drive swaps quick and painless. It’s printed with a 0.08mm layer height, 2 walls, and 50% infill, ensuring durability while taking only about 1.4 hours to print on printers like the Bambu Lab P1S or X1 Carbon. MakerWorld users give it a stellar 5.0 rating, praising its perfect fit and ease of use. Whether you’re upgrading your server setup or just love a clean IT lab, this caddy keeps your drives organized and accessible.
Perfect for My Tech Haven
As someone who got hooked on 3D printing (thanks to my daughter’s dragon-printing spree!), I’m all about projects that make my IT lab more functional. This screwless caddy is ideal for swapping drives in my DELL PowerEdge servers without digging for a screwdriver. It’s a practical addition to my growing collection of 3D-printed tools, alongside hooks and organizers for my garage and desk. Plus, it’s a great example of how 3D printing can solve real-world tech problems with a quick print!
