3D-Printed Homelab: Let's Build a LabRax Mini Server Rack

Spencer Moxley will demo his finished LabRax -- a fully 3D-printed, modular 10-inch mini server 5U rack designed for homelabs, Raspberry Pis, mini PCs, and networking gear. He'll show off the build, walk through how it came together, and talk about what he's running on it. Then we'll roll right into starting a second LabRax build for Evan, so you'll get to see the project at both ends: a polished, populated rack and a fresh build kicking off.

This one covers a lot of ground. We'll dig into homelab setups (what people are running, why, and what's worth self-hosting), 3D printing (filament choices, print settings, what to do when prints go sideways), and general PC/hardware topics -- power, cooling, mini PCs vs. SBCs vs. used enterprise gear, and whatever else comes up. Bring your questions, your own homelab war stories, or just curiosity. Beginner-friendly as always.

If you've been homelab-curious but haven't pulled the trigger, or if you've got a 3D printer collecting dust and want ideas for what to actually make with it, this is a good one to show up for. Afterwards, we'll head next door to the Lenexa Public Market for food and drinks to keep the conversation going.
