6*2.5" to 5.25" bay adaptor

thingiverse

I wanted to move all the 2.5" drives in my PC into a 5.25" bay, but I didn't want to pay £~65 for a drive adaptor, so I made one myself. What you'll need to assemble: <ul> <li>6* 2.5" SSD/HDDs.</li> <li>2* 40mm fans. (Optional)</li> <li>LOTS of M3*4 screws... up to 48.</li> <li>8* M3 bolts (length depends on depth of your fan). (Optional)</li> <li>8* M3 nuts. (Optional)</li> </ul> Assembly is pretty straight forward: <ol> <li>Print out the tray three time, each of the two sides (or two of the "side_no_fan_universal.stl" if not using fans), and the fan mount (can be omitted if not using fans).</li> <li>Screw two drives to each tray with M3*4 screws.</li> <li>Line the screw holes on the sides up with the screw holes on the drive, and, with M3*4 screws, screw them into place.</li> <li>(Optional) Secure fans to the fan mount with M3 bolts and M3 nuts.</li> <li>(Optional) Screw fan mount to the side pieces with M3*4 screws.</li> <li>(Optional) Rout fan cables through the holes on fan mount.</li> <li>Slide into 5.25" bay (you may want to attach all the cables first), and then secure in place with M3*4 screws.</li> </ol> Unfortunately, you cannot use an odd number of drives; however, I'll make a workaround and upload it at a later point.
