SD to IDE 3.5in Adapter

thingiverse

Recently I have been using an SD to IDE converter purchased off of amazon in my retro Windows 98 PC https://www.amazon.com/SDHC-40Pin-Adapter-Memory-Drive/dp/B08SK28S2Y/. However the manufacturer only provides a bare PCB with no enclosure to allow it to be easily mounted. 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. 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. Slicer Settings: Generate supports with overhang set to 89% (This will limit support generation to the SD slot only) Nozzle: 0.4mm Profile: Normal (0.175mm) Approx. print time 7 hrs You will also require the following hardware For mounting the PCB: Bolt: M2.5-0.45 x 15.7mm Nut: M2.5-0.45 For mounting to the chassis: 6-32 Imperial size nuts and bolts.
