Feet Pics

[atakioki]

I have a formerly rack-mounted AlphaServer 1000a that is now living free-range. The AlphaStation 600a seems to be in the same chassis, and has a set of "glide pads" according to the manual that I would love to fabricate so that this AlphaServer has something to stand on.

Unfortunately I can't find _any_ photos of the bottom of an Alphastation 600a that would give me a decent idea what these glide pads actually look like. Does anyone happen to have photos of a Alphastation 600a's feet the would be willing to share? Alternatively, would someone who has a 600a be willing to heave the beast over on it's side and take a few photos?

Attaching a photo of the 600a's manual with a reference to the feet in question, and thanks very much for considering this request.

I have a straight 600 (not an 'a') but the case is the same. Here are the photos of the feet. They're more worn out then I imagined. Been dragging around this beast quite a bit I suppose...

If you get the exact dimensions of those feet, they would be easy to print with a filament
printer.

The choice of material will be critical. This thing is h-e-a-v-y.

Thou art a scholar and gentleman and I owe you a drink @nadaveiron, thank you!

Will probably just 3D print it out of glass-filled ASA since it will be mostly out of sight, but might get fancy with some UHMW cylinders.

I used something like this: https://www.amazon.com/WIZARD-SLIDERS-Adhesive-Furniture-25x100mm/dp/B0CXTR5WL6

But I got mine from a local hardware - Home Depot/Lowes or Walmart.

Mine went on the bottom of my two Compaq XP1000's which are similar in size and weight to the PWS series. The PTFE (Teflon) helps with sliding. Sometimes a little too much but not too bad.
