I wanted an integrated solution for my Greaseweazle V4, drives, and a power supply.

Bill of Materials

Quantity

Item

1

Greaseweazle V4

1

Floppy ribbon cable

1~2

Diskette drives

1

Mean Well RD-35A power supply

1

IEC 60320 C14 panel mount socket

1

26 x 13 mm panel mounted, clip-in power switch
(I think it was this one: Addison SKU 091254, Purevolt IRS-1-2B9-R)

4

M4 x 12 mm Flat Head Countersunk Screws (FHCS)

4

M4x6x8 brass inserts

2

M3 x 12 mm FHCS (for the C14 socket)

6

M3 hex nuts (2 for the C14 socket, 4 for the power supply)

4

M3 x 6 mm Button Head Cap Screws (BHCS) (for the power supply)
(Note: my photos show 8 mm screws poking out)
(Edit: in retrospect, you can probably skip the last screw and nut on the bottom in the back - it is difficult to install, harder to disassemble and not really necessary.)

4~16

Drive screws, either #6-32 or M3 as appropriate

1

Drive power wiring harness - I salvaged mine from an old PC power supply

3

Female “Quick Disconnect” crimp connectors

6

Fork crimp connectors

4

Stick-on rubber feet

 

Electrical wire

 

Soldering supplies

Notes

Disclaimer: building this involves mains power - do so at your own risk.

The power supply installation is difficult and requires a long hex driver to reach the screws in the back and bottom of the case, a flexible extension also helps.

The 3.5" to 5.25" drive bay adapter is from rmpel's FluxEngine-related work.

My exemplar is printed in Polymaker “Natural” ASA which matches pretty well with 1980s and 1990s beige electronics.
