What Size Server Rack Enclosure for the Mini?
I’ve ordered a Prusa Mini+ and can’t wait for it to arrive. I’m thinking of buying a wall mounted server rack cabinet to use as a Prusa Mini+ enclosure but I can’t figure out what size I’d need. 9u, 12u or 15u?
Does anybody have a similar setup for the mini? I assume I’ll have to drill some holes in the side for the filament unless the filament fits inside (wall mounted maybe)?
It’s going in the garage so I’m not worried about noise

Here are minimal dimensions for Mini enclosure:
[Mini+] [MK3S+BEAR]
RE: What Size Server Rack Enclosure for the Mini?
I have following dimensions working:
depth: 465 mm
width: 390 mm
height: 430 mm
The width can be reduced perhaps to 360 mm when fila sensor is not used or switched to bondtech ifs.
If you plan to print often things that are using most of the 180mm z height, then it should be higher. The cables and the bowden tube bumps a bit against the ceiling when higher than 160 mm

... if you do not have the thumb thingy like I and optimize the heatbed cable you can reduce the depth to probaly around 450 mm and some mm less

Nice one, thanks for the advice folks.
Based on the comments, this one looks like it will work with externally mounted filament but it feels expensive! Struggling to find a source for cheaper options in the UK. The Tukkari mini enclosures also look nice and have the benefit of not having to figure out how to get the PSU cables in/out and drilling a slot for the filament

A couple more decent options

The tukari enclosure is great. If this fits your needs, it's a valuable solution.
