Optical Drive Underdesk Mount

thingiverse

This is a mount designed specifically for optical drives that can be securely fastened under the desk. With my case now upgraded to one without any 5.25" drive bays, I had no choice but to position my drive outside of it. Given that I was already planning to build myself a new desk anyway, I decided to integrate an actual mount for the drive into the design. The official SFF specs and drawings for the 5.25" ODD form factor served as the foundation for creating this custom mount. After conducting some tests, I found that Versions V1 and V2 had significant fit issues, likely due to material shrinkage. Version 2 featured added side holes, while Version 3 boasted a slightly increased width to improve its fit and lacked bottom grid holes altogether.
