      Knock up for a customer, I cannot detail the application yet but working out how to mount OpenRail to a 19" rackmount was a proper lightbulb moment.

      Rackmount cabinets normally have a 2 fixing strips (left and right) in the plane of the front panel which forms a lip for securing the item. And another running in the plane of the side, to mount a sub cage to.

      Salvaged 19" rackmount, OpenRail inside! Bed 450 sq.
      The top of this box has is open with the equivalent of the front panel fixing strips.

      Powder fed, sequential layer deposition.

      Stainless steel base plate inside a powder tub. The tub is quite shallow for this application.
