Optical drive bay to hard drive bay sled or rails
thingiverse
This guide demonstrates how to fit a 3.5" hard drive into a 5.25" optical drive bay by using the dimensions from two standards: SFF-8301 for the 3.5" disk drive and SFF-8851 for the 5.25" optical drive. You can choose to print either a full sled with a base plate or just rails for the sides. The instructions involve printing, placing the hard drive, and affixing it to the sled using 3.5 mm or #6 hard drive screws. The file is heavily commented, with dimensions referencing SFF-8301 and SFF-8851 standards mentioned in the top comment. Variables like $manifoldOverlap$, $screwRad$, $minWallThickness$ and $minScrewAllowance$ are also provided. If you use this, please provide feedback. Note that the code may appear messy.
