sata case printable on rep 2

thingiverse

I love the design that the original was and did not feel as though i wanted to change anything. When i tried to print one though, well, that was a different story altogether. The unit is to tall for the makerbot rep 2 to create in a fashion that will not take more support that the object itself. I know because I laid it flat and printed one. =( took a half hour to break all the supports out...... Well what to do...... I ran the supplied solidworks file through my version of solidworks and split the unit right down the middle so I could lay them flat on their side and only use 1/35th the supports. I am using these in a stack formation of 5. that is four for hard drives and one to run a usb 3.0 hub and a mini itx power supply. I will be sanding down the cases and painting them some cool color and making a hard drive array. Instructions I provided the stl's separate. This way you can decide if you want to print both sides at once or separate.
