- In today's video we explore using DIN Rails for maker projects. I cover how you can use DIN rails for a variety of uses. Use DIN Rails for Electronics Projects, Tidying Wiring Looms, Enclosures, Robotics and 3D Printers. DIN rails can be used for so many things yet so many makers don't know about them. With a 3D Printer you can create some amazing parts to use with DIN Rails. I cover how to make your own parts quickly and easily.

In Germany we use them in many kinds of electrical installation (house / industrial) special click system mounting, there are all kinds of components and devices for it. They are called Hut Schienen ( hat rails ) because the profile looks like a hat (front view). Greetings from a kind automation technician in South Germany
Germany produces all of my favorite industrial control products. They cost more than domestic products, but it’s always worth the cost.
@@mbunds great to hear that from you. Thanks 👍 I know that, German stuff is also expensive for most of us in Germany, but if you want to trust in products, then use German or japanese stuff. They are also control Freaks, like us 😂
@@MsJellyfan I like them because they're "control freaks". You just can't go wrong with Siemens, Wago, Schneider, etc. Allen Bradley is OK, but they're really behind the times - FactoryTalk and RSlogix haven't changed much in decades, and in fact, seem to be falling behind. Allen Bradley, for one, now acts like Microsoft; always late to the party, always trying to copy features from the European, and particularly German industrial controls.
@@mbunds Schneider is france. I like their inverters, but for that Mitsubishi ist better. Mitsu is also a great alternative to Siemens In Case of PLC's.
They're often called "Top hat" rails in the UK as well.
There's such a wealth of older more standardized components and I am so glad you rediscovered this and shared it! Subscribed.
Never thought about using them in this way. Thanks
This is a really useful set of suggestions !
Huge topic, thanks for organisation and sharing. Keep on going.
Thanks for making this video. Very useful!
Pretty cool product. Useful information. Thanks!
I've seen these and never gave them a second thought. Love the test bench Idea.
well that just opened up a whole *branch* of types of ideas, I'll have to get back to you on that
Your linear slider idea is really slick. I like that it produces a very low profile rail and slider. Most DIYs for this sort of thing using standard 5/8” or even 3/8” rod and sliders on the base end up taking away a lot of overhead room. And the overall build is so top heavy that you need a large foot print. I can see this may not have the precision because of “play” in the slider to rail interface. But I am sure even as I write some engineer somewhere is solving that (or, more likely, has solved that).
As an engineer who designs control enclosures for water/wastewater plants my answer to your title is "i am" lol.
Some really great ideas here! Thank you for making your models available. I have thought about using DIN rails but never got around to it. You have taken them way beyond anything I was thinking of. Time to order some.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
I have never used DIN rails. I can see how they can be very useful. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tips... very useful.
Great recommendation
Nice video. Good thoughts And presentation. Keep it up!
Lol! Good video, just 3dprinted my own stand offs
I've been using DIN rail (there are several variations to choose from) and Panduit for wire control for many years now in machine control systems. I'm currently working in aerospace industry making control consoles for test stands with 19" rack enclosures, with the back just covered with DIN rail mounted components. Many of the major suppliers offer their equipment in DIN modules for almost the same price.
Very good idea. Thanks for sharing
That was a good one Rob.
Hello from France ! In France, it is mainly used in houses electrical box (mines are white painted).
I've printed some cases to be able to attach rail DIN foot to hide some DIY stuff in my electrical box.
I've never thought about using this system to build something. Thanks for the idea !
Great video!
The test bench is an awesome idea
Agreed. It can also be used for PC hardware benchmarking.
Great video! Thanks!
I have them in my Voron 2.4 and they work awesome.
I discovered that DIN rails could be used with 3D printers after getting into Voron DIY printers. Their official printed parts collection also has several DIN rail mounts for all the electronics.
I use two sets of DIN rails to mount my PSU, mainboard, Raspberry Pi, SSR, and used terminal blocks to distribute all wiring underneath my custom 3D printer enclosure. The terminal blocks keep everything neat and you can use jumpers to consolidate common connections from the power source to devices. Absolutely convenient to create common ground connections for the PSU, bed, and printer/enclosure frames.
I've been using them for years. Mostly for making control boxes and stuff, like for my CNC routers. I like your ideas for benchtop use. That's cool.
Added a pack to my Amazon cart, thanks for the tip. I'm currently working on adding wind speed and direction sensors to an 8' garden windmill and need a way to mount everything...
Sir ,You inspired me to redesign my artistic desk .Thank You:)
This fantastic, thanks.
Amazing!
DIN Rails are very common here in Argentina and what a coincidence, not many weeks ago I thought about using them like French cleats for storing tools at walls, didn't know there was such an ecosystem...! I'm glad.
You're cool dude. I think we would be best friends
DIN rails get developed before WW2 in Germany, and for some reason become common in Argentina after the war... pur coincidence.
like the french cleat idea, rail on the wall and rail on the container, just hook it on ...
and for individual pieces print/make a "clip on" for the rail
those stands for the DIN rail are very cool
I love doing DIY, I din I yr projects are simple to do n functional, thks!
Hi. I had have to mount a bunch of relays an some controllers It looks like din rail is the way to go. Thanks for the tip.
This was great! Subscribed! Can't wait to dig into the Makers Mashup vid library on here and see what other awesome ideas you've shared! THANK YOU!!!!
wow that I never thought of this
so cool indeed, amazon, has my order for a bunch of then
Boo, Amazon. Yay, DIN rails. :)
This couldn't have come at a better time. I was trying to figure out how to hang some stackable bins and knew this existed but couldn't think of the rail name. Now I do and have some ordered. It's also going to be great for some other projects I have down the road.
Very usefull, we will try it, thanks ❤️❤️😉 and thanks for the Stl links
Thanks! I may adapt them to mount a GPS etc. in my sailboat. It's a small one and car roll over easily. That'll keep that gear out of the water. Oh, and eBay has a wide selection of DIN rail gear.
Fantástic video!!
Thank you kindly sir
As somebody who has been building a CNC mill I am very familiar with how amazing DIN rails are! Yes, anything electrical - they are amazing! It's the aluminum extrusion of the electronics cabinet - modular, and cheap.
This is such a great idea! Thanks heaps for sharing 😁 I can see the endless possibilities now, just brilliant!
Amazing tool for makers. Thanks Rob for sharing this idea with us. Greetings!
Good to see more people spreading the word. I have my models on prusa for tool holders.!
I use these a lot at work, very handy!
The importance and usefulness of extruded aluminum can’t be understated. Din rail is great, but regular extruded aluminum structural material is also incredible.
Just like the stuff a lot of 3-D printers are made from… It can be found exceptionally cheap especially if you can pick it up locally.
You can find scrapyards, local hobbyists, or machine shops who throw that stuff away hundreds of pounds at a time. Ranging from short little 6 inch segments to over 6 feet long.
You sold me on din rails. Now I am trying to figure out how to organize my printers electrical system using them.
They are called 'Hutschiene' here in germany
Hello, great video thanks for making it.
I do have a question for you which is what are the din rail parts called like the one that raises din rail so wires can go behind it?
It was just a wall mount for din rails.
Thanks for the ideas, DIN rails look like a cheaper 20x20 square rail alternative
Yeah I thought that's what the video was going to be about. That square rail is expensive.
I'm making videos on inkjet printer parts for making a 3d printer.
Will they hold akro bins? The little bins used for parts and such
Thanks! I retired 16 years ago and have been getting back into electronics as a hobby and had never heard about DIN rails before. Thanks for the intro as to what they are and how they can be used. I've never been interested in 3D printing, but after watching your video I can see how it could help me take my own projects to the next level.
I can say that was 100% the reason I got into 3d printing. Being able to create enclosures and custom parts. It's life Changing.
Where have we used DIN Rail for?
Kitchen cabinets hung on the wall.
In the dry wall, it only has support in the wooden beams.
But the width and attachment point of the cabinets did not match.
One DIN rail screwed to the wall and the kitchen cabinets on it... it fits
Subbed
What filament do you use ?
My desk indeed does look like that.
Can you make explain the lineal rail ?
Voron Design specs this as standard equipment. Great solution.
I finally found the name of those things when I took a class to learn to program Allen Bradley PLCs for a client in 2002. I've loved them ever since.
I guess I miss most parties too 👍🤪👍
DIN for the Win!
I used to build Hot Engine test stands back in the 70's, DIN Rails all over in them.
I like this video
wow I just finished a project where this would have been perfect.
omg i love you
Do you recommend steel or Aluminum? I can see attaching one under my printer table, and be able to attach power strips, cable holders etc. Thanks.
Aluminum has worked well so I'll use that unless I need the rigidity of steel. But the Aluminum is fairly strong.
@@MakersMashup Steel ones are cheap over here compared to aluminium, so that can also be a deciding factor.
5:26 You called? (heard our name) haha
Hmmm.. voltmeter to DIN rail holder for Fluke etc :-)
I use a DIN rail in my full size R2 I am building for mounting my Raspberry Pi, ESCs and other components.
Still use them here in Germany on job site from time to time. Never thought on them to organize electronic components and cables with the help of my brain and the 3dprinter. Still designed my housings to screw it on a wall or wood board before. Anyway, every maker knows how fast installation setups change ;-) Thank you for the inspirations!
I work in industrial automation and we use it in 98% of professional panelling. Fuses holder, terminal block, industrial PLCs etc Use din as standards
Use wire duct for wire clean up. It's right there next to the DIN rail 😆
Din rails are for fastening cables to, because they are punched ,they are stressed and prone to warping , so if you want to maintain accuracy ,din rails are,not the way forward unless you like maintenance.
I think the Link for the braket from "Making Your Own DIN Rail Mounts" in 6:10 is missing. Could you please provide? Thanks
Found it www.thingiverse.com/thing:4853261
That should be in the thingiverse link with all of my din rail models.
In the industrial world, they always make quick bolt to steel or concrete mounts for sensors. The other similarly useful product is unistrut, but thats for bigger stuff.
Nice to see someone made an STL for the DIN clamp. For printers, I use direct mount w/ screws/nuts or slot the part into the profile. Could be handy for a CoreXY electronics package though.
It also has automotive mod options
Control Systems Engineers say "we are!". makers have more in common with controls engineers that most other disciplines IMO. That's why I"m both.
Funny is that I just found a huge stash of these at work. These and 80/20 or equivalent, anything can be made. Adult erector sets.
Me clicking on the video: “C’mon, man, DIN rail? That’s a piece of metal that goes in the electric box. Pfff”
Me, few minutes in the video: “OH! Wait! That’s cool! Thanks, man!”
Actually, the UniPi unit (PLC+RPi platform) snaps to a DIN rail and I’ve used one in a regular 19” rack. 50 cm piece of DIN rail (a 1 meter rail cut in half in my case) fits the rack perfectly.
1) Pegboard for life!
2) I have that exact heat gun! It's pretty great.
3) Really, pegboard for life.
It does work quite well. I use it often.
I don't like pegboard because the holders come off too easily. With my DIN rail tool holders, they are locked in left to right, and top to bottom. www.thingiverse.com/thing:4888847
i'm working on a din linear rail and it's better than rods
Those rails are an industrial standard all over the world. There is a ton of stuff ready for use with them, they are cheap, easy to use, and really practical.
Plus you can mount your tools on them: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4888847
I just saw these at home depot for $25 for ten feet. Is that a good price?
If it's truly DIN rail then yeah I would say that is a bargain. I'll have to look next time I'm there. Thanks for the heads up.
My local electric supply has 8 feet for $15.
I've considered them for 3dprinting since I get in contact with din rail on a professional level. However, Ive never been able to find them (attractively) cheaper than 2020 extrusion profiles, which are basically the same as in providing a modular platform. You can make less or more the same standard part to click something on a 2020, 2040 etc. Most standard components provided for din rail I would also consider overkill should you use them for 3dp.
TACTICAL DIN RAILS
DIN there DONE that :)
Very punny.
Aren't DIN rails what erector sets made of
Nope. I used plenty of erector sets as a child. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erector_Set they are quite different. DIN rails and 2020 Extrusion are the erector sets for grown ups though. :)
DIN-Deutsche Industrie Norm It is nice to be german...from time to time.
fyi - DIN - Deutsches Institut für Normung de.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN-Norm
0:44 duuh it's a Norm - just like the ATX, mATX and all the other standards
Quite useful!. The AC wiring you show for the power supply is really unsafe...
Other than the fact that are exposed?
What's unsafe? The metal pins are for the AC input from a mating cord.
@@MakersMashup Yes, that's what I mean
Oh yeah then you're right. I'm a rebel. 110 is not that bad but I'm competent enough to keep my fingers out of the high voltage. 😁
Why not just 3D print them?
Ha ha so true.
They would not be durable enough to print and they're very inexpensive.
@@adisharr The ones I'm printing seem durable enough to hold tools, and they lock in place nicely. www.thingiverse.com/thing:4888847
They're French Cleats.
They're the metal shop equivalent of French Cleats, yes.
Literally used miles of the 🧐
