SD to IDE 3 1/2" Enclosure

<p>Recently I have been using an SD to IDE converter purchased off of amazon in my retro Windows 98 PC <a href="https://www.amazon.com/SDHC-40Pin-Adapter-Memory-Drive/dp/B08SK28S2Y/?tag=thingiverse09-20">https://www.amazon.com/SDHC-40Pin-Adapter-Memory-Drive/dp/B08SK28S2Y/</a>. However the manufacturer only provides a bare PCB with no enclosure to allow it to be easily mounted.</p><p>So I decided to take on the challenge my self of making a 3-1/2" drive bay enclosure for my SD to IDE adapter.</p><p>This project will require some basic soldering skills as you have to de-solder the Molex power connector and solder wires directly to the PCB. This is because when a Molex power connector is pugged in the socket the combined height of the PCB mounted connector and the cable mounted power connector is higher than the drive bay. I recommend sacrificing a Molex to SATA converter by cutting off the SATA plug and soldering the wires to the PCB as shown in the included pictures.</p><p>Slicer Settings:<br>Generate supports with overhang set to 89% (This will limit support generation to the SD slot only)</p><p>Nozzle: 0.4mm</p><p>Profile: Normal (0.175mm)</p><p>Approx. print time 7 hrs</p><p>You will also require the following hardware</p><p>For mounting the PCB:<br>Bolt: M2.5-0.45 x 15.7mm<br>Nut: M2.5-0.45</p><p>For mounting to the chassis:<br>6-32 Imperial size nuts and bolts.</p>
