Valve Index 5.25" drive bay adapter

thingiverse

A while ago someone created a drive bay adapter for the HTC Vive linkbox and I wanted to create something similar for a friend who owns a Valve Index (and eventually for myself when I buy my own). I've only tested this print with my machine, and the goal is to use 3ft DisplayPort and USB 3.0 cables routed to the back of one's case, as well as using the 12 volt power from the PC's power supply unit. I chose Cable Matters DP to DP 3ft extension cord and AmazonBasic's USB 3.0 3ft extension due to cost and because they were at my desk to measure. The power plug is just a 5.5mm barrel plug pigtail I got off Amazon, powered via a Molex connector from my PSU, which I need to find an adapter for to use with the Index. I recommend finding a PCIe cover with cable management capabilities to help route the DisplayPort and USB from the back of the case to the front. I plan to create my own later. This is one of my first custom prints, and I'm still learning about 3D printing in general, so feedback is greatly appreciated.
