About PlanTheRack
A free planner for 10 inch mini racks and 19 inch homelab racks.
Most mini PCs, Macs, modems and small switches can't go in a rack on their own. When you add one, the planner puts it in a rack mount made to fit that exact device, from 3D Rack Mounts. Gear that already has rack ears goes straight in.
Tap an open slot to choose where the next item goes. Drag an item to move it (on a phone, press and hold first). Tap it to remove it.
PlanTheRack is made by 3D Rack Mounts, a small shop that designs and prints rack mounts for gear that doesn't come with rack ears. When a device in your build needs a mount, the planner links ours.
Gear that already has rack ears is in the planner too, so you can lay out the whole rack, not just the parts we sell. The planner is free, needs no account, and keeps your build in its link.

How it works
- Pick a rack. 10" mini racks (DeskPi, GeeekPi, Lab Rax and similar) or a standard 19" rack, at the height you have.
- Add your gear. Search a device to place it. Gear that already has rack ears, like UniFi and Netgear switches, Synology RackStations, UPS units and PDUs, is in the list too and goes in as rack-ready.
- See what's missing. Anything without ears shows as "needs a mount", with a mount you can buy for it.
- Share it. The link holds the whole layout, so a build can be posted, compared or finished later.
