My latest 3D printing design escapades led me to the Eurorack modular world, reimagining what a modular case could be.
(the novel joining mechanism behind this was researched in this post)
What if you can freely rearrange your modules without the need for screws or a screwdriver?
What if you can combine any collection of modules for a particular set and immediately recombine them without having to hunt for little nuts in the rails?
What if you can combine any collection of modules into a semi-modular that can still be effortlessly attached with any other module collection in a sturdy case?
This video demos the first prototype I'm experimenting with, I'm curious to hear any thoughts you may have.

I spent most of the day working on a mechanism to put Eurorack modules in the 3D printed case without having to use any kind of screws. I think I came up with a really neat solution that requires no tools at all.
Next is the back panel for the power management solution and then it should be done!

If executed well, I believe like this would be startup material!

I want to do something like this as well but vertically arrange my 4 Moog synths at will without needing to screw and unscrew using a rack.

I couldn't resist making the best use of space and integrated a patch cable holder into the sides of the 3D printed modular eurorack case system I'm working on.
I'm down to small tweaks as I now also have a sturdy back panel with open space through which to run a flying bus cable for power management.

Got a 4HP box done done and a few others to play around. Instantly rearrangeable modular boxes: these just take a couple of seconds to reconfigure and snap back together in a very sturdy unit.
