										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After buying 3 Raspberry Pis I needed somewhere to put them. I didn&#8217;t really like the black case, I had bought for one of them. A Google Search for Raspberry Pi Server Rack yielded a lot of  result where people had built their own rack in Lego, so I decided to do the same.</p>
<p>I downloaded <a href="http://ldd.lego.com/da-dk/download/">Lego Digital Designer</a> and built a prototype of the rack with it and then used the &#8220;<a href="http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pick-A-Brick-ByTheme">Pick a Brick</a>&#8221; option at lego.com to buy the bricks I needed.</p>
<p>My design can be found <a href="http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/raspberry-lego-rack-x7.zip">here</a>. This design has room for 7 Pis (my current build only has room for 3).</p>
<p>A few images of the process:</p>
<figure id="attachment_213" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-213" style="width: 474px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-213" src="http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_1_bag_bricks-768x1024.jpg" alt="Bag of LEGO bricks" width="474" height="632" srcset="http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_1_bag_bricks-768x1024.jpg 768w, http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_1_bag_bricks-225x300.jpg 225w, http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_1_bag_bricks.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-213" class="wp-caption-text">The Bag of bricks</figcaption></figure>
<p>After a few days my bag of bricks arrived and the really fun parts began.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_214" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-214" style="width: 474px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_2_sorting_the_bricks.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-214" src="http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_2_sorting_the_bricks-768x1024.jpg" alt="Sorting the bricks" width="474" height="632" srcset="http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_2_sorting_the_bricks-768x1024.jpg 768w, http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_2_sorting_the_bricks-225x300.jpg 225w, http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_2_sorting_the_bricks.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-214" class="wp-caption-text">Sorting the bricks</figcaption></figure>
<p>First of course, I needed to sort to bricks. Nobody builds lego without sorting the bricks first, right?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_216" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-216" style="width: 800px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_4_finished_rack.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-216 size-full" src="http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_4_finished_rack.jpg" alt="The Finished Rack. No Raspberry Pi yet" width="800" height="882" srcset="http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_4_finished_rack.jpg 800w, http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_4_finished_rack-272x300.jpg 272w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-216" class="wp-caption-text">The Finished Rack</figcaption></figure>
<p>The finished rack with room for 2 Pis. The blue tiles are meant to make it easy to write the names and the purposes of the different Pis on the rack. I covered them with transparent tape before writing, so I can easily change the text without having to clean the tiles first.</p>
<figure id="attachment_217" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-217" style="width: 474px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_5_rack_with_raspberrys.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-217" src="http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_5_rack_with_raspberrys-768x1024.jpg" alt="Lego rack with Raspberrry Pis" width="474" height="632" srcset="http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_5_rack_with_raspberrys-768x1024.jpg 768w, http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_5_rack_with_raspberrys-225x300.jpg 225w, http://www.larsblauridsen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/lego_5_rack_with_raspberrys.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-217" class="wp-caption-text">Lego rack with Raspberrry Pis</figcaption></figure>
<p>The finished rack with Raspberry Pis. Next time I buy bricks, I might need a few extra bricks to keep the Pis in their place.</p>
