Mac pro G5 DVD drive enclosure

Mac Pro G5 DVD drive enclosure I loved the elegant lines of this Mac Pro and I always thought it would be awesome to create a "mini" enclosure for the original Mac mini. But before I did that, I thought why not try out the idea by using it as an enclosure for my DVD burner that I bought on Ebay? It's made in two parts: one is the body, and the other is the lid to be glued onto the lid of the DVD burner. Just finished 3D printing and assembling, so I'll clean it up before posting the final photos. Please print photos when you have made one. I hope you enjoy this and let me know if anyone is interested in one for the Mac mini? Check my other Apple-related designs to suit iPhones and iPad minis. Ten years ago, Apple introduced the Power Macintosh G5, the first of a new generation of Macs based on IBM's PowerPC G5 architecture. Unveiled by Steve Jobs during the 2003 Worldwide Developers Conference. Instructions The body and the lid are in one file side by side. Print it, then insert your DVD burner into the slot provided. I have allowed extra room to suit most sizes, so if you want, I'll post the maximum dimensions the DVD burner can be. Then insert the burner, and add support where required with foam or anything that won't bend the frame of the burner or it will not open smoothly anymore. Use double-sided tape to put the Mac lid onto the DVD burner lid, making sure the door closes and you have clearances all around. Glue everything (make sure you glue the lid while the DVD lid is open in case you spill glue and the mechanism will never open again).
