Intel Nuc Case Extension for SSD - non stackable

About
I needed non-stackable version of Stackable SSD Case for Intel NUC, so I remixed it:

• this was designed and tested for D34010WYK model only

• much easier to mount SSD disk

• reuse original bottom part with the rubber feet - also cutouts to allow mounting it

• no air filtering holes on the side

• no hole for the finger to reach power button

• two screws to mount it to the base

• two screws to mount the bottom (that's why it has a gap due to bottom being bent on the photos, but it disappears when device is placed back on the rubber feet)

• there may be some model wall misalignment but they should disappear on slicing

Please give likes, review and suggestions for improvements. Also make sure to do the same to the original authors of the models used. Thanks!

Changelog:

• 2026.03.08 - small improvement in one corner to avoid dumb supports, it is a solid corner with a hole now

• 2026.03.08 - initial release

Print

• provided gcode is just for time and material estimations

• print in the orientation as the models are seen on the preview

• 0.2mm layer height  0.4mm nozzle, STRUCTURAL profile recommended

• use supports, snug recommended

• no brim, no skirt

• 20% infill, 2 perimeters or more

• recommended PETG so it would not melt, or use ABS/ASA/PC

• optionally use hot inserts or add negative volume to avoid drilling, also worth to place 100% infill in that areas (two cylinders 10x10x10mm

Assembly

• Read carefully before assembly

• drilling holes

  • additional holes - to avoid damage do this before installation - use a 2mm drill to make a small holes in the printed part in the filled in corners or add negative volume cylinders to later mount hot inserts

  • optional - drill full holes across the corners and use dedicated long screws to mount all parts in place to avoid gaps and to have a more sturdy construction, but then you need very long screws (I haven't tested this)

• disassemble Intel Nuc bottom, remove the screws, but keep the rubber feet

• attach SATA data and power cables to the base

• place the printed frame on the body, use two original screws to attach it to the body

• attach SATA/power cables to the SSD disk, you probably need to keep the cables over the disk as on the photos

• put disk into the place

• mount SSD fixation bar, use some random screw to screw it in place (3mm diameter, about 5mm in length, for wood should be sufficient), screw it slightly,  if needed, or you can use hot glue :D

• mount the bottom on the printed part, and use remaining two screws to mount it in the drilled holes, be careful not to damage the plastic threads (you just want the bottom to fall off, so jus screw the bolt heads so they are just under the rubber feet level)
