My husband have this hard drive, which comes with a pretty shape / box like HDD came back in the days and he don't had or lost the vertical mount so he asked me if I can do something simple. I got offended by the implied “you're doing it all over complicated” but I got along because, that's not entirely false 😒. 

I noticed the HDD enclosure have those 2.1mm x 15mm holes and I though I could use that as an additional anchor point for my design. 

Printing Settings

Those are the printing settings used in the .gcode for the Prusa Mini+.

  • 0,20mm (quality profile if you're using PrusaSlicer)
  • 0,4 nozzle
  • detect thin border activated ← that's important for a better rendering on the enclosure anchor

Additional recommendation

You may want to add raft or support to be sure your print don't warp too much, depending of your filament 👍

Usage

When mounting, keep in mind they are made to be on each slot at each end of the HDD case, not in the center (which are not the same sizing).
