Design:

- 1x 2.5 HDD/SSD - 5x Keystones (v1 with 4x Keystones only) - HOT SWAP is possible. I really wanted that feature and couldn't find it anywhere on printable/makerworld - maximum airflow - Following feedback the mounting of the SATA connector as been redesigned. pro tip: When screwing the SATA connectors: let them have a fair bit of wiggle, don't fix them tight. The wiggle will account for the last 0.5mm of potential misalignment between connector and SSD/HDD. Perfect fit guarantee.

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) - /!\ Make sure you have HIGH AIR FLOW as the piece might not have the sufficient cooling time between layers. I had multiple failed print before I understood that... In a printer with an additional inner ventilation, make sure to position the piece as close as possible to the air flow (on the left side of the bed on a H2_ for example) and open the door!
