The Mac mini uses Apple’s detailed AR geometry at its published 127 × 127 × 50 mm dimensions. The printed cradles are modeled from Print3DSteve’s Etsy photos; the other accessories are simplified illustrations based on the linked listings. The rear is arranged as 2U grid, 2U grid, 1U ElecVoztile PDU, and 1U cable entry. Six power cords connect the PDU outlet leads to the Macs; two PDU leads remain free. Cable bends and the shortened input lead are illustrative. These are not manufacturing dimensions or downloadable print files.
