Description

Overview

Modified pixelwave's beautifully designed model to suit my needs. The holes on the side of the cage were lowered to allow for right-side up mounting.

As per the original model, you will need 3 mm threaded inserts to secure the cage in your case. To mount the HDD to the cage, M3x6mm screws (cylinder head) are fitting in my case (see below).

Notes and potential issues

Still, and intended, the connectors are more recessed than those of a normal HDD would be, please take note of that. 

Also, depending on the type of screws you use to mount the 2.5" drive, they may stick out a bit and not allow for proper clearance in your specific drive cage. If this should be an issue, consider printing the _chamfer file and use M3 countersunk screws to mount the 2.5" drive, they should end up flush (not tested here).

Printing

Printed in PETG with 4 perimeters; I found supports for the mouting holes were not needed, even with the non-chamfered file
