External 3.5″ SATA USB 3.0 enclosure #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Hart60 shares:

This is an enclosure for a 3.5 sata HDD and a USB 3.0 adapter. The picture shows that I misplaced the side mounting hole at the rear of drive, but the scad and stl files have been corrected since the print. Just attach the HDD and adapter to the bottom plate. I used a nylon nut on the adater to keep from shorting a trace but a nylon washer or even an o-ring would work. Then slip the top cover over the front first and pull the back down, and attach screws to the side of HDD to secure it in place.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!

The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
