Description
This adapter is tested with a motherboard from an Optiplex 3050 SFF, but it should be compatible with any SFF Optiplex motherboard from 2015 or newer. A reference image of a compatible motherboard is included.
Printing
Printed with 20% infill and 4 perimeter walls.
I printed it in PLA, but you should probably print in PETG for temperature resistance.
Mounting
11x 6-32 6mm long screws are needed to mount the motherboard: 6 for mounting the adapter to the case and 5 for mounting the motherboard to the adapter. They screw directly into the plastic, which is fine for supporting the motherboard's weight.
SFF Optiplex motherboards have roughly the same height as Micro-ATX , but they are ~29 cm wide, which is almost as wide as E-ATX. Check the clearance in your case next to the motherboard tray to ensure that the motherboard fits.
Some notes
If you want to move your Optiplex motherboard to an ATX case, there are some things to consider:
