Minimized SSD 2.5 to 3.5 adapter

thingiverse

This is a condensed version of @rssalerno's SDD adapter, tailored to fit snugly on the (120x120) bed of the Monoprice Select Mini 3D printer. It leaves just 8 vertical mounting screws, precisely what I needed to install an SSD into my PC case's 3.5" drive trays. Thanks to @wholesalepcllc for encouraging me to share my remix. I know it's a laptop HDD in the photo, but it still works. How I Designed This To create this adapter, I used a small openscad script to clip the original file. The script reads: module original() { import("SSD_Bracket_v3.3.stl", convexity=10); } I then applied an intersection operation with the following code: intersection() { original(); translate([8,-1,-1]) #cube([86,110,6]); } If you have unique requirements (such as preserving the horizontal 3.5" mounting screws), this is a great opportunity to learn OpenSCAD and make adjustments - simply modify the numbers in cube([]) to include more or less of the original, and adjust the translate([]) values to reposition the preserved portion.
