Printable 4-pin male FDD power plug

thingiverse

I got a HP proliant microserver gen 10 that I was going to set up with a boot ssd and a couple of hdd's. Turned out that the ssd was supposed to be powered by a FDD-SATA power cable (old floppy drive plug, I think), which I of course didn't have. Instead of ordering it and then having to wait for it to arrive I remembered that I have a 3D printer, so I designed one to be printed instead. This plug turned out to work quite well. I cut the SATA power plug and with cables from an old pc wreck and scavenged 4 fitting metal pins from some sort of connector I had, which I soldered to the cables. After soldering the pins, I pressed them into the connector from the back (cable) side, and then I could pull them out on the front side where they lock into place nicely if the stick out a suitable length on the back side. (The soldered wire prevent them from being pulled out, and the back wall prevent them from being pushed in) Posting it here in case anyone else find themselves in the same situation, however unlikely that might be :-)
