Description

I stumbled upon a site in the UK ([allmetalparts.co.uk](https://www.allmetalparts.co.uk/35-half-rack)) with a really comprehensive selection of half racks and accessories at very reasonable prices (heights from 1 to 16U, 200/300/400/600mm depths) — BUT they’re 9.5” or 10.5” widths.

I took a look at the dimensions for some of DeskPi’s rack accessories and they’re too wide to fit in a 9.5” rack and not wide enough for a 10.5” rack - so now I’m wondering about compatibility for 3D modelled rack parts…

Does anyone here have/had a 9.5” or 10.5” rack? Is it just a write off for compatibility with models off Printables/etc. or do designs tend to include enough tolerance to work without modification?

There is also one 9.5” rack case listed in the hardware section of this repo (Flyht Pro Stage Rack 9,5" 6U Double Door) — if compatibility is an issue it’s probably worth calling that out, or splitting it out into a separate 9.5” section.

Research direction

Review the hardware section and the Flyht Pro Stage Rack 9.5" listing. Confirm whether the documented accessories and models fit 9.5" or 10.5" racks; done means recording the compatibility limitations or separating the 9.5" rack entry once the question is resolved.
