Record Rack

I tried to place my 12" records next to each other, but as I got more and more records, they started to fall over. So I designed support for them, which I didn't like. So I started over and made this design. 

The first design was made with my shelf in mind. 

The dimensions are:

(w x h x d) 500 x 140 x 180 mm

Each section is 50 mm wide and can hold up to 13 records. The whole rack consists of 7 units.

The records are lifted by 10mm in the high-profile version, which was too much for a friend. So I made a second version with a 5mm low profile.

The dimensions of the low-profile version are:

(w x h x d) 350 x 140 x 180 mm

Each section is 43 mm wide and can hold up to 10 records. The whole rack consists of 5 units.

This is what you need to print if you want to build one on your own:

high-profile version:

2 x bar male high profile

2 x bar female high profile

8 x arch

1 x crossbar(optional)

2 x M3 12 mm bolt

low-profile version:

2 x bar male low profile

2 x bar female low profile

6 x arch

2 x M3 12 mm bolt

When you've printed everything, stick the bars together, put in the bolts, and place the arch in the right position. 

The arch should be a press fit to stiffen up the rack. So please double-check the orientation of the parts because the arch or its connectors might break if you want to pull it out again.

The crossbar is totally optional, when I designed the model, I thought it would be necessary to stiffen up the rack, but it turn out to be completely unnecessary. 

However, if you still want to use it, you might need  M3 16 mm bolts.

If printed my parts with 2 walls and 20 % cubic infill.

I hope you enjoyed my design, as much as I do.

Have fun sorting, rearranging, and listening to your record collection.
