Design:

- for 10x 2.5 HDD/SSD !!! I also added a x9, x8, x7 and x6… for the less ambitious… no one judges… - Maximal Density ! - HOT SWAP is possible. I really wanted that feature and couldn't find it anywhere on printable/makerworld - Maximum airflow - Following feedbacks, the mounting of the SATA connector as been redesigned. Print:

- No support ! Print face down see picture. - Tolerance are quite tight, make sure to take your time to print it (I used 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layers Assembly:

- It's probably going to be “new tool day” if you want to print that… You will need a HEX/ALLEN key 2MM with a very long blade (at least 20cm) such as: - Bondhus 3752 Extra Long 2mm Ball End Screwdriver (link to images of the key) - Stanley Extra Long Allen Key 2mm (link to aliexpress) - Then assemble the SATA connector as per pictures starting from the least accessible. Other Material:
