2008 Apple XServe 2.5" Hot Swap Drive Bay Adapter

My XServe had a 3.5" SAS drive die over the weekend, we have hundreds of spare 2.5" SAS drives so I took the chance to standardize it by making an adapter in Inventor Fusion. After 6 revisions (revision 5 is pictured with the drive, only difference is minimizing the material usage) this is pretty darn perfect. Instructions The 2.5" drive I build this for is 9/16" tall. You will need to make adjustments with the 2 lips that go on top of the drive for your specific drive! Print using whatever settings are best for you (I choose 20mm because it's a simple design) put the top side down so you do not need any supports. Depending on your luck with edge curling, I added helper disks to all the small edges (My MakerBot 2X Experimental Printer has been relabeled Tempermental) 1/8" holes were created to use the screws I pulled from the HP 2.5" sas drive assembly.
