There are many 2.5" to 3.5" drive adapters for server trays / caddies, but this is mine.

It is intended to use minimal plastic while still providing appropriate support, and is designed to use #6-32 x1/4" heat set inserts so as to accept the usual 3.5" HDD mounting screws appropriate for the tray.  The side of the drive against the tray is secured with M3 screws.  M3x6 bolts are suggested for securing the drive to the adapter.

The adapter was tested with a 13th generation Dell server.

Suggested print settings are:

  • 0.4mm nozzle
  • 0.15mm layer height
  • 4 perimeters (effectively solid)
  • no supports
