3D printed Eurorack case proto 2: no screws needed for the modules themselves!

I spent most of the day working on a mechanism to put Eurorack modules in the case without having to use any kind of screws. Next is the back panel for the power management solution and then it should be done!

This is very cool. Waiting to see how you will solve power supply. I've always thought of starting out on eurorack but can't commit the space for a case, not knowing if it would work out for me. I own a 3d printer and this (your modular modular case) sounds like the way to go for me

I was wondering how you were going to handle screwing in the modules. I’m surprised this works as well as it does!

You should add a gap, at the back, so all the power headers can be attached, flush, with a power adapter cable.

Yes that's similar to what I'm doing

U don't need any tools with Befaco screws either so it seems you're fixing 1 problem that doesn't exist. Secondly, it still seems difficult to remove various modules - you obviously don't expect people to push modules from behind? And where do the ribbons cables go? Anyhow, seems there's a good chance you can find a market for this product, it's an interesting idea.

With this you don't need neither the screws nor the rails/nuts. It is not comparable to the aluminium rail profile + steel rail + screw combo, but a wonderful alternative. The screwdriver, is the easiest and cheapest thing to get from that setup. The money is in the rails and profiles. Besides with this you don't need to manage the screws, and it's perfect for passive modules and for those you don't want to have constantly in your main rack, or for testing purposes. What is wrong with pushing the modules from behind? Unless you are pushing on a trimmer pot and turn it accidentally and detune a parameter, it wont hurt the module...
