Description
I sold the DVD drive in my laptop to fund my electronics modding habit. Instead of having an unsightly gap, I modeled this part which allows me to store an HDMI adapter and a USB-C to barrel jack adapter.
It clicks in without you having to transfer the 2 plastic pieces screwed to the original drive. It has a thin bottom layer for ease of printing which also makes it quite sturdy.
- PLA, PETG or ABS
- 0.2mm layer height
- 15 - 20% infill
