My motherboard has a power connector near the 5.25" bays, so I remixed this adapter to offset it away from the motherboard. Since this is pretty custom for my use case, make sure to read the warnings! All of the important elements are parameterized in Fusion 360 so modification should be simple.
WARNINGS
- Make sure you have a screwdriver which will fit in the HDD screw hole shaft, if not you'll need to modify the model.
- The left side is only 6mm high, so make sure to use screws for the bay that aren't too long. You'll also have an issue here if the HDD screwheads are taller than 3mm.
- The HDD screw hole is too tight on mine, but I chalked that up to my printer not being tuned all that well so I left it as-is.
- More of a general warning when screwing into plastic, but don't over-tighten the bay screws or you might ream out the bay screw hole.
Print Settings
- PLA
- 0.3mm Layers
- 6 walls for strength (probably overkill)
- 25% Gyroid infill (maybe overkill?)
