Optical drive bay to hard drive bay sled or rails
pinshape
Use this to fit a 3.5" hard drive into a half-height (5.25" optical drive) bay. I used dimensions from the following two standards: 3.5" disk drive: SFF-8301: ftp://ftp.seagate.com/pub/sff/SFF-8301.PDF, 5.25" optical drive SFF-8851: ftp://ftp.seagate.com/sff/SFF-8551.PDF. You can print either a full sled with a base plate or just rails for the sides. If you use this please feedback. Sorry about the messy code. Instructions: Print out, place 3.5" hard drive in position. Use 3.5 mm or #6 hard drive screws to secure it firmly to the sled. The file is heavily commented and comments like //A1 and //A14 refer to the dimensions given by the SFF-8301 and SFF-8851 standards mentioned at the top of the document. Some variables of note include $manifoldOverlap, $screwRad, $minWallThickness, $minScrewAllowance.
