This is a remix of a 10" mini rack that uses Reliable Hardware Company 8U steel rail sections, pre-threaded 10/32. These are readily available on Amazon, as I couldn't find the original's Adam Hall rails.

The original model parts are too thin, and easily self-arrange into a parallelogram with the rails I used.

I made new depth supports, you'll need to print 4. I made new horizontal supports, you'll need to print 4. I also made some feet if you want to use them. 

Hardware required:

(16) M6x12 button cap screws and M6 nuts

(8) M3x8 button cap screws and M3 nuts

(4) Rail sections (the Adam Hall ones should work, but if you get the same ones I used (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JQYUEA2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) you'll have to open the bottom and top holes to handle the semi-circle key on the side supports.

UPDATED 02DEC23:

Fixed offset screw hole in the horizontal support, and lengthened it to 261mm. (Original design I based this off of has 263.5mm and they bow/flex when assembled)

Made feet 1mm thicker, increased diameter to 25mm, increased recess depth for using socket cap M3 bolts or lock nut, or both.

Continued refining model. The rail sections are not a perfect 90 degree bend, so I may abandon these rails and try to find the Adam Hall the original designer references, or Aluminum rail sections.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Based a completely new design from the original concept. Original model files were only used as a reference for assembly and some baseline measurements as compared to the make I made of the original.
