3U Eurorack Rails Side Brackets
Eurorack side panels provide guidance for your rails to form a correctly sized 3U frame. Therefore fixing the rails and modules inside your case will be very easy. By combining together a few frames you can create case any case size you need. Therefore our side cheeks are perfect hardware for any of your DIY eurorack modular synthesizers. Panels are designed to work with Doepfer style mounting rails with lips.
The construction of the brackets is fully 3D printed.
Why 3D print side panels?
- Using 3D print technology has allowed adding additional positioning elements to the design that solved the problems of rails twisting and difficulties with vertical alignment during assembly.
- 3D printed construction is durable and over 12x more lightweight than aluminum – an important factor for travel cases.
- Although the panels are strong – remember it is plastic. Mishandled rails can act as leverage and break positioning pins and panels.
- We recommend using those panels with cases that have solid construction – wood or metal. For eurorack cases made out of more soft materials (plastic cases, leather suitcases, etc.) we advise using aluminum side brackets that will add stiffness to the construction.
- We recommend using those panels for shorter rails – up to 126HP. Longer rails, once full of modules can bend under their own weight. Therefore for long rails, we advise using stiffer aluminum side brackets
Assembly
The assembly process of a 3U frame using these side brackets is very easy: Simply slide the eurorack rails into position and fix them with self-tapping M5 bolts. Keep the rails perpendicular to the brackets to avoid breaking out the positioning pins. Rails will be aligned perfectly both horizontally and vertically. You can’t go wrong with that!
Important
- The listing price is per pair of 3U side brackets
- Screws are not included
- Brackets are designed to work together with our eurorack rails with lip
Construction Details
- Length: 133mm
- Width: 30,5mm
- Thickness: 3mm
- Every panel has smaller inner holes for attaching it to your case with 3mm screws (screws not included)
- Every panel has larger holes to attach the rails to the side panel with M5 bolts (bolts not included)
- All holes are countersunk, allowing you to attach the frame to the case and without affecting the space of the modules

The side brackets are well designed and are 3D printed. They are made of decent quality material. One side is sparkly and the other is mat.

If you are a aluminum bracket user , be careful , you need 1 mm more of width for this one

I thought about making my own, but I am very glad I did not. these are easy to put together and make installing in a box or attaching side panels a breeze

Perfect for the job

Feels cheap, does the job if a change is not needed, the surface of the edge is not as even as the metal version, i dont like that. Metal is more strong when you like to widen the holes a little bit. This is helpful when you use screws of a diy shop with a slightly wider head. The screws sold here fit perfectly tho. Please bring the metal version back.
