Adaptec 29320lpe Standard Height Bracket

thingiverse

This is a remix of @XMBomb's PCIe Full Size Bracket. This bracket is designed for the Adaptec 29320lpe differential SCSI card. It's my first published solid model, please don't hesitate to critique it! EDIT: After printing, I had to use an X-Acto to clean out the crevices of the slot. This is my first print, so maybe there were some issues with the print temp being too high. The next thing I had to do was take off some material on the board side of the bracket for the entire width of the connector. It seems that the connector sticks out from the board around 0.030". I used a Dremel with a flat grinder bit for that. Even after the bracket fit to the board without interference, you can see that the mounting tabs that were provided from the remixed unit were still not quite long enough to use screws with. The alignment of the tabs WRT the cutout is accurate, if I had to print another one, I would extend the tabs (with the mounting holes) an additional ~0.070". After fiddling some, I went without the screws. The bracket is plenty strong. Lastly, while the new cutout is properly aligned in Y & Z-axis, it could be shifted somewhat in the X-axis. I think if the cutout was shifted ~0.050" away from the tabs (toward the board component side), it would be better centered. I have good electrical contacts with the cable all the same.
