Panels + rails + your ideas

Make it
yours.

A cyberdeck. A control surface. A machine that only you could imagine. Start with MakerPanel’s open panels and rails. Build the rest your way.

01 / A system, not a box

Stop starting
from scratch.

The interesting part is what you build.
Not how you bolt it together.

A screen here. A keyboard there. A control you can actually feel. MakerPanel gives your ideas a shared mechanical language, so each new piece becomes part of something bigger.

See how it fits
01

Choose your pieces.

Start with a panel from the gallery or design the one your project is missing.

02

Make the connection.

Shared HP widths and compatible mounting bring panels together on T-tracks or MakerRail slots.

03

Change your mind.

Swap a module. Rethink your layout. Keep the parts that work and evolve the rest.

02 / Built around you

One standard.
No standard build.

For the workbench. For the field.
For the idea that won’t leave you alone.

Personal computing

Less laptop.
More you.

Give your next cyberdeck a foundation as individual as the machine.

Hands-on interfaces

Ideas you
can get a grip on.

Encoders, switches, and controls. Bring the physical back to digital.

Portable systems

Off the desk.
Into the world.

Make space for displays and interfaces in your next field-ready project.

Explore display panels

Illustrated possibilities. Explore the gallery for actual panel designs and source files.

03 / Small rules. Big possibilities.

A little structure.
A lot of freedom.

Use compatible off-the-shelf T-tracks, or make your own MakerRails. Different rail construction. A shared panel system.

Off-the-shelf / T-track

A continuous channel.

Conventional T-tracks use a continuous channel, typically in an aluminum extrusion. Matching T-nuts slide along the track to position your panels.

Make your own / MakerRail

Slots, not an extrusion.

MakerRail uses discrete through-slots separated by supporting ribs. 3D print the rail, or laser cut it from suitable plastic or metal sheet. No extruded channel required.

T-slot hardware compatibility does not mean identical rail profiles. Match the nuts, screws, material thickness, and clearance to your build. Compare the mounting options

All design workflows
A / EXPLORE

Find a starting point.

Browse example panels. Take the design files. Make them your own.

B / CREATE

Make the missing piece.

Start with parametric OpenSCAD tools and turn dimensions into a panel.

C / CONTRIBUTE

Build it forward.

Your solution could be someone else’s starting point. Share your design.

The MakerPanel mindset
