Simple Hard Drive Bracket (Long)

prusaprinters

This is a simple bracket for installing a 2.5" hard drive or SSD in to a 3.5" bay. It is a longer design than some of them and has all three of the standard screw holes found in 3.5" hard drives which is necessary in certain cases.I also have my "deluxe bracket" which allows you to install two 2.5" drives in a single 3.5" bay, or one 2.5" drive and a fan. There is also a cheaper/faster to print bracket if you don't need all three mounting holes. They can both be found at: https://www.printables.com/social/55222-tyler/collections/95779The holes on the side of this bracket should allow you to self tap a #6-32 UNC screw. (The standard ones that are used with 3.5" hard drives, not the M3 screw which has a finer thread and is generally used for optical drives and 2.5" drives - although if you find the hole too small for the 6-32, you could try an M3.)Pictured hard drive bracket is printed in Overture Matte Green PLANov 8 2023 - Note: I had a hard drive crash and lost some of my stuff including the original source file for some of my earliest designs including this one. I took the opportunity to recreate this object in a better Cad program. The one here is now the updated version. You really should notice almost no difference.If you liked this design, consider a tip or post a make!
