5.25 to (2) 3.5 HDD bracket for LianLi PC-Q08

thingiverse

This bracket is for computer cases that may have some extra room at the top or bottom 5.25" bay. It takes (1.5) 5.25" drive bays and converts it into a (2) 3.5" hard disk mount. You need 2 of these to mount the drives. One on each side. Mounting hardware required: 8 Hard drive screws - 6-32 x 1-inch flathead 4 Optical mount screws - M3 x 6mm 4 Optical mount nuts - M3 (5.5mm flat-to-flat) I ran out of physical disk space in my NAS, so I wanted to see if I could utilize the 5.25" bay to get two more disks in the enclosure, along with an SSD for a cache drive. I noticed in my Lian Li PC-Q08 that the 5.25" bay had quite a bit of room above it. By design, the PC-Q08 has an SSD mount at the bottom of the 5.25" bay, so I just needed to model an adapter to fit 2 more 3.5" drives in it. I'm sure there are other cases that have empty space above or below the 5.25" bays, so I wanted to make this model available for anyone that has a similar need. I have modeled it so that the max height standard 3.5 disks will fit at 26.1mm. I have also allowed about a 4-5mm air gap between the drives for fan ventilation with max height drives.
