HDD Caddy for Lenovo ThinkPad W Series (W500 W510 W520 W530)

thingiverse

This remix fits my W510, and the Caddy is supposed to be the same for models W500, W510, W520, and W530. There's a small bit of extra clearance for a shielded wire that intrudes into my HDD compartment. Let me know in the comments if you have any trouble or suggestions, or think mine is assembled improperly in this way (I got it used - I only removed the HDD compartment cover, and changed nothing else). Differences from version: - It's narrower for the Lenovo ThinkPad W series (the total width is now 73.746 mm). - For easier measuring, the cones are no longer tilted and have matching vertices along the top. - The screw hole cones are now spaced properly, no longer rotated, and correctly positioned from the bottom. See https://www.tweaktown.com/articles/4096/ocz_technology_vertex_3_ssd_form_factor_bigger_isn_t_always_better/index2.html for measurements (in mm). The measurements below are from there, and screw hole measurements are to the center: - Length: 99.7 - Plug end to first hole: 14.2 - First hole to next: 76.15 - Bottom to holes: 2.9 You can also see the measurements in Blender: - Enable the MeasureIt add-on. - Expand the right panel. - Click the "View" side tab. - Expand MeasureIt, then click "Show". For easier modification (in the blend file), it's mostly n-gons (minimal edges) and a mirror modifier. ## License - [Creative Commons - Attribution - Share Alike](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) - by Poikilos and fassi72 - based on Festplattenrahmen ThinkPad SL500 by fassi72 Dec 21, 2018
