If you're a specific kind of nerd, you probably know and love the Dell MPF82E. It just looks like some boring internal part for old Dell Latitude D-series laptops, so normal people don't buy them, but they're actually really great USB floppy drives. And there's a bajillion of them still fresh from the 00's ready to rock. (god, that was 20 years ago? Wow.)

I happened upon a good deal on a stack of some, and I agree! It's a great little USB floppy drive. Works like a dream. The problem is that they are not really made to be used naked like this and I don't want naked laptop drives bumbling around my life. So, this. It's a piece of plastic you can cover up one of these drives with, while leaving the USB port open. I even included a spot for the latching tab to keep things nice and secure.

I printed mine in PLA but any material that doesn't warp much should work like a dream. I'd suggest you print in the provided orientation with the back side flat, didn't need a brim even on my bedslinger.
