Modular hdd rack stackable 3.5 hard drive bracket 80 mm fan mount

thingiverse

I updated v6 with the ability to mount 80mm fans for cooling hard drives. To secure fans, install every other mount as a fan version because there's a hard drive every 40mm and fan pins every 80mm. Simply press standard 80mm fans onto pinholes. It may take some effort to get them on, so handle the pins carefully to avoid breaking them off. Each mount is taller than v4, resulting in more space between drives compared to v4. The tabs with screw holes on v6 are shorter than v4's, making them incompatible. I updated the base to fit the new size and included only the full rectangular base since it provides stability. Additionally, I updated top mounts and added one with fan pins. As shown in a photo, I stacked seven drives, and it remains stable, albeit with some flex. There is no fear of it tipping over. **Original Description:** This minimalist rack mount holds multiple 3.5 inch hard drives vertically. Each section aligns with the section above and is secured by screws inserted into HDDs. The top version does not include struts to minimize wasted plastic for the top drive. The normal bracket has overhangs at strut tops where screw holes are located, so print with supports. Filing or sanding off supports will be required after printing, but marks will be hidden when attached together. The top version of the bracket has no overhangs. With screws fully inserted, it becomes a sturdy setup. I stacked four drives and applied lateral pressure, resulting in almost no movement, so it could safely hold at least five drives. *Edit:* I added base designs that provide more clearance between the bottom drive and the surface it sits on. Both print without supports.
