I opened a bunch of XBox360 slims I printed some of the cases I found here and I had some issues :)

As I said having opened a bunch of 360 Slims made me a bit unhappy with the HDD case models already posted here. 

 

The whole body one was nice but only fits 7mm thick harddrives, even though 9.5mm are quite common.

 

The two part case printed also nicely (less material also) but had two issues. The one is the mounting screws that are on the sides and if you don't have really thin flat heads you are literally screwed as the tolerances are too tight :)

The other problem was manifesting in only SOME of the Xbox360 slims, as the HDD case holder inside the box is sometimes designed with little latches (2 or 4 depending on the model, se the relevant pictures). So the hard drive case slides in, but if you want to remove it you actually can't without opening the whole console case :)

 

 

So I designed mine. I firstly moved the mounting screws on the bottom as there is more space to "hide" them in the part.

Then I removed the top and side part of the front guide. This way the latches don't trap our case even though they provide support in order to have the proper height to stick into the Sata connector.

 

I can proudly  say that I tested this case in a dozen or more Xbox360 Slims or Es, with no issues :)
