I have a large server cabinet that needs  a patch panel type thingy. I need a couple RJ45 cables to come in from the back, simply go through the 3D printed panel to connect to the switch i have above. I haven't been able to find a model. Kinda need some help because I don't have any time on my hands to design one.

can you send a phoot of where the panel is needed and measurements of where it mounts and the size of the hole it covers?

Sorry, as of right now I'm unable to get photos. All I do know is that it just needs to be flat, 19in long (so it can screw into the posts) and it just needs to have holes large enough to squeeze an ethernet cable through. As many holes as you can evenly space across the 19 inches. For Units, 1-2U's is fine.

it's 19 inches long, 3.6 inches tall, the holes are 1/8 inch in diameter and spaced apart 1 inch, the ethernet holes are 0.5 inches tall and 0.75 inches wide, and every edge is rounded. I also made a lightened version.

Wow. This is amazing!! I have to learn how to do this. Let me take a look tomorrow to see how it is to print, if I can. I'm also considering getting Shapr and Fusion 360 for modeling one day. Thanks for your help man!
