Feature suggestion: Mount bracket with sideways mount points #138

I have a feature suggestion regarding the universal mount bracket: https://makerworld.com/de/models/1362075-mount-bracket-for-homeracker#profileId-1407018

I have a KVM switch which is almost 16 base units wide. If i want to mount it with the universal mount bracket, which by design is two units wider than the device it is securing, i would need to have a 18 units support. Because of the bed size of my P1S, the maximum support length is 17. Sure, i could extend the supports with the extender part from the 19" server rack bundle, but that seems a bit overkill.

So my feature suggestion would be a universal mount bracket which has its mount points rotated by 90°, so that it not clamps to the front left-right support beam, but to the sideways front-back support beams. Sure, in that case i have to make sure that the front of the device is overlapping with the front left-right support beam, and i think i also have to add another left-right support beam to support the back of the device. But it will not require me to print support beams longer than my print bed can handle, and i also won't waste too much space to the left and right of the device i want to mount, since all the mount points of the mount bracket will "hide" between the vertical support beam.

What do you think? In the meantime i will simply print some shelf slates where i will place the device on, but it surely isn't as secured as it would be with the mount bracket.
