The comments are right that you could put these kits together yourself, but I personally would rather buy a kit that has all the work done for me in sourcing, accessory parts, etc. etc. So basically, great video, I'll look into snagging one of your kits. The "Nano" line is really interesting to see, would love to learn more. Good work bringing tinkering and such to the masses!
Makerbeam is produced by a company in the Netherlands, feel free to go onto their website. www.makerbeam.com/ where you can buy kits with all the parts you'll ever need.
I tend to sit them on a 19inch shelf and secure them with a 3D printed bracket to stop the frame moving around. The 3D bracket isn't load bearing so it works reasonably well.
Well I'd suggest a metal bracket that could be load bearing bolted to the Makerbeam frame and the 19inch rack frame. I haven't come across something that would suffice yet, but I'll keep an eye out.
I don't think any respectable manufacturers are taking what is practically a commodity and selling it as their product with little added value. I would say you're closer to a drop shipper than a manufacturer @@custompchardware
to be fair to this channel, i did just go and try to find 10x10mm extrusion to pedantically compare prices, and it isnt easy to find any, and the ends of sections are at least pre tapped. A little expensive compared to more common extrusion sizes but I could see it being useful for specific jobs.

:D Can you send me a bucket full? (j/k). I never had Maccano as a child but always wanted it. I think they made it plastic then stopped making it now or something. I can see they do have website but I like these aluminium struts and screw slots. It does something for my inner child I still retain. I am 42. Maybe my inner self, actually. Maybe it's inherinted through the ages. I still want to play. :D
Why are you calling 1010 t-slot hollow aluminium extrusion as "makerbeam" ? It's a commodity product. They are great but I don't understand why a brand name ? There is no quality gradient here, they are standards compliant or they are defective. This brand here does not mean a particular secret sauce recipe ... Does this brand actually extrudes these aluminium in the UK, or are these rebadged chinese import ?
@shodanxx can you drop a link or two for 10mm T-slot extrusions, since apparently you can find these so commonly around? standard 1010 t-slot extrusions are 254mm (or roughly 1inch in width/height)
Thanks for the vid! This gave me some great ideas for custom cases and CNC'd side panels, love it
Many thanks, glad it has provided you with ideas to pursue.

This is a cool idea for DIY cases. What would you use to mount these into a standard 19" rack?
I tend to sit them on a 19inch shelf and secure them with a 3D printed bracket to stop the frame moving around. The 3D bracket isn't load bearing so it works reasonably well.
Thanks. Any thoughts for rack mounting without a shelf?

@@custompchardware Thank you. If you do come across something, that would be great for a video!
I liked the concept, but the pricing isn't there. 1/3 of the material, yet somehow it's the same price as 20x40
just slapped branding on aluminum extrusion
I think you'll find all manufacturers do this with any product.

I've not found a single other vendor selling these in these small sizes

Yes both Makerbeam, and other manufactures extruded aluminium products, do provide useful materials to fire our imaginations.
Great for proof of concept builds.
Indeed it is.
