Harddisk adapter 2.5" to 3.5"

thingiverse

This thing holds a 2.5" SATA harddisk and makes it drop-in-replace a 3.5" form-factor - including electrical connections. Thing is, I have a harddisk dock in my office PC; It's designed to hold a 3.5" harddrive and has a mechanism that does not require any caddy. It'll take the bare disk. See picture. However, with the plethora of 2.5" drives flooding the market these days, I would like to be able to stick one of those into the dock too. If you look at the SATA connector on these two types of disks, you'll see they're identically positioned in one corner of the drive. That got me thinking - add *something* to the small drive to make it fit in a 3.5" dock and I'd be in business. Result is this adapter. Exact form factor adaptation, including screw mount holes and all. If your 2.5" disk has a different height, I've included the openSCAD file - just modify that one to suit your need.
