I printed it in PLA, which isn’t super strong but it’ll be fine for my purposes, holding only a fibre terminator, router, switch and controller. I figured that if it wasn’t strong enough I can easily replace load-bearing parts with PETG which is much stronger, but don’t think I’ll need to do that.

Arguably, the main advantage of dynamically typed programming languages is improved developer efficiency. In a vibe-coded world, efficiency of humans writing code is less of a bottleneck. Correctness, verifiability and readability are more important: all things better done in static typed languages.
