External Hard Drive Cooler

thingiverse

I designed my very own Lacie external hard drive cooler using TinkerCad, which utilizes two 60mm case fans with metal guards that are powered by a 12V .1A DC adapter. I bolted everything together with hardware from the local hardware store. This project uses the following parts: Top case: eight 1" 6/32 bolts Rear fans: eight 2" 8/32 bolts Rear electronic door: four 1/2" 4/32 bolts I also included a skin that attaches to the bottom once it's printed. I made this skin because I had some trouble removing the support from the electronic door recession, which left some marks on the surface. However, attaching the skin resolves this issue. Keep in mind that if you use the included electronic door and don't attach the bottom skin, you'll need to resize the door height to account for the added thickness of the skin. I designed the door with this in mind. Additionally, I made a small skin for the opening to the adapter, which you can see used in practice by checking out the photos. The proportions fit a 4 TB Lacie External Hard drive perfectly, but feel free to use and resize it for your own purposes!
