Please Note Before Printing — Important
This model has not been print-tested; I currently do not have access to a printer to test it. F3D files are included in case you want to directly modify the model.
This enclosure features a sliding lock and sleeve system inspired by my Satellite AX-233 2.5" drive enclosure. The side openings provide airflow to help cool the drive, which is particularly useful for HDDs.
This model is part of a future Drive Bay — JBOD/NAS project I'm currently working on.
Print Orientation and Recommendations
You may test different print orientations based on your own experience, but my recommendations are:
Part 1 should be printed flat on the printbed with the open side facing upward. Supports are required; tree supports are preferred.
Part 2 should be printed vertically, with the holes facing downward and the rail grooves facing upward. This orientation should require no supports.
Part 3 should be printed with the handle flat but floating, as it would be positioned when the enclosure is assembled and sitting flat on a surface. Either side may face upward. Supports are required for this part.
Assembly & Connectivity
The assembly requires no electronics. The drive's own SATA port remains exposed for direct connection.
To connect the drive to a device, you will need a SATA adapter. SATA-to-USB adapters are likely the most convenient option, particularly if you intend to use the enclosure as a portable drive.
