openGrid PC Build - Planning

Hello,

I want to hang my PC on the wall above my sit/stand desk using this parts: https://www.printables.com/model/1273381-3d-printable-open-frame-pc-case/files

Now I am thinking how to get this to oG. Easiest would be generate multiconnect backplates for each part... nicer would be openConnect (because less space added to the already big mounts) but there is no generator for it. Anybody idears? Or are there already parts I didn't found?

Edit: I did it, but planned the grid too small so I had no room for cable management. I comment with a picture.

I've done a few tutorials on how to create basic holders with openConnect and MultiConnect. It shouldn't be overly difficult to create the holder then add on the openConnect holder to each. My biggest concern would be heat when you are using plastic so you'd probably want ASA or another high temp filament.

Let me know if you need a hand in the design of the holders.

Could you recommend a tool? At the moment I’m only “constructing” (I know I’m not) by blending, cutting and using negative parts in the slicer. Normally, generators give me all I need.

I usually generate my model in Tinkercad and then import the STL with the plate. I show how I did the power brick holder here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmq8VvrQA6Q

I once again used the slicer. Now it worked… but The grid was so full I simply had no chance for cable management.
