External 3.5" SATA USB 3.0 enclosure
thingiverse
This is a housing for a 3.5 sata HDD and a USB 3.0 adapter. The image clearly shows that I misplaced the side mounting hole at the rear of drive, but the scad and stl files have been corrected since the print was completed. To assemble the enclosure, simply attach the HDD and adapter to the bottom plate. A nylon nut on the adapter was used to prevent shorting a trace, but a nylon washer or even an o-ring would also work effectively. Next, slip the top cover over the front first and pull the back down, securing it with screws attached to the side of the HDD. This will keep the enclosure in place. The stand is optional but can be used to hold the enclosure upright, saving valuable desk space. The electronics required for this project can be sourced from aliexpress or ebay.
