🔹 Proudly Designed, Manufactured & Assembled in the USA – A homelab solution built for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts, located here in the USA.
NOTE:
The 10" Rack standard allows for a maximum of 220mm of center space, and Project Mini Rack suggests designs of 210mm for compatibility. Cubi-Rack supports 218mm space between rails which exceeds the Project's recommendation. Some online 3D designs push these limits and may require adjustment(s) to fit Cubi-Rack. The 0.5U Shelves from DeskPi do not fit as they do not allow enough horizontal tolerance with their mounting holes. The 1U Shelves from DeskPi fit perfectly.

This product hit the spot. I was gifted 12 RPI 4 a while back, I had a couple of SSDs and the desire to learn k3s, Docker Swarm, Ansible, and burn hours coding playbooks and troubleshooting VIPs. What I lacked was a way to bake the pie that wouldn't draw ridicule and ire from my wife and friends. They sat, and I watched Jeff Geerling. I said, "I need a rack," but I didn't want to pay for or build an all-metal one. I deal with those enough at work. Facebook read my mind and showed me Cubi-Rack.
The build quality is awesome; it is 3D printed, but the attention to detail is higher than what I could have ever printed myself. I could not be happier.
I had one "complaint". The RPI carrier slot is 1/16 too narrow for the RPI to fit in without a little force to get it past the headphone jack. I have talked to support, and they are making adjustments. This wasn't a deal breaker, just some tweaks in a new product.
Mine came with old-style rack nuts and screws, which I have made more than one blood sacrifice to the rack gods with in the past. Now that I know the rack comes with them, I will tell support to keep them since I will never go back to them after using RackStuds.
If you are on the fence, get off and make the buy. It looks cool, is cool, and there are enough accessories to get started. You will not be disappointed!
