Tesla Turbine - HDD

thingiverse

I created this Tesla Turbine case after disassembling some hard drives and discovering that they didn't fit the case I liked here on Thingiverse. The center point diameter of the hard drive mounting bolts is 1.9 inches, with .95 inches from the center of the motor mount to the center of the hole. I ended up with two of this size and one pressed into the case and not suitable for this use. Your results may vary. Just a simple Tesla Case and cover in case the hard drive you take apart uses this size motor mount. (I'll get a photo of my completed make-up soon, and it works fine.) Body 3 and cover 3 are imperial. Body and cover 2 are metric. If one is way too large or small, use the other set. The differences are obvious when you go to slice them. Note: I had to grind down the heads of the three bolts I bought to mount the hard drive because they rose too high and brushed the disks. Buying a low-profile head bolt for this would be ideal if you can find them. Ten minutes with a Dremel wasn't a big problem for me.
