2U Power Management and Raspberry Pi Server Panel

2U Power Management and Raspberry Pi Server Panel

This thing is responsible for powering and holding my Raspberry Pi 4s. The design is a built-in modular fashion so that each Raspberry Pi can be "slid" in and out along with optional switch panels too. The right side of the panel is for holding the DC Power Supply. The design has two sets of mounting holes, it was originally designed for the Wanhao i3 Power supply as I had one left over. However, this eventually broke... I then bought a new power supply, also linked below. Depending on the power supply that is used, there are two lids that can be used, one with a hole for a fan, and one without.

At the bottom of this page, there are multiple videos showing the exploded views of the different parts of the panel. There are too many parts for any decent technical drawing to be made. Thus no technical drawings are made for these designs. However the exploded views below should give enough detail into how the thing is built.
