I made a tutorial to show you how easy it is. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zlSbmwnOP10\" rel=\"ugc\"\u003e https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zlSbmwnOP10\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo supports or brim needed for any part.  This prints pretty nicely at 0.2 layer height and that is what I have the profiles as. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAssembled, this case is 13.3cm length, 10cm wide, and 2cm thick.  It will hold both the slim SSD drives (7mm thick) and the older thick HDD drives (9.7mm thick).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis case is intended to be used with a USB 3.0 SATA cable.  The intention is to reduce wear on the drive disk by having the cable permanently attached (though it can be removed by taking the case apart).  These USB cables can be found on amazon, ebay, and aliexpress. (usually around $4-$8). They generally have a blue connector that indicates it is a 3.0 USB.  These only work on USB 3.0 PC ports.  Some PCs have one USB 3.0 and the other USB are 2.0 so check for symbols next to them that may indicate which one they are.  Sometimes these are also blue (but not always).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg class=\"image_resized\" style=\"width: 20.88%\" src=\"https:\/\/makerworld.bblmw.com\/makerworld\/model\/DSM00000001310712\/design\/2025-04-11_5d4b60381a93c8.png\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will also need 8x M3x10mm screws with sunk heads for a flush look.\u003cbr\u003eYou may be able to use 8mm in length (but I am not 100% sure) but you cannot use any length longer than 10mm.\u003cbr\u003eYou also will need some glue for the insert piece.  You should glue it in place to keep dust from getting in the box.  This is a very thin part and should still allow for adequate heat ventilation but if your drive runs hot, you could forgo using this part. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStep 1. Glue the insert piece into PartA. (see photo)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStep 2. Attach the hard drive to PartB with 4 screws. \u003cbr\u003eSee photos on how the drive should be oriented. There are screw holes on one side of the drive. Do not drill or create new holes in the drive as this will destroy it. Make sure the connector is oriented in the right direction as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStep 3. Attach your cable to the drive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStep 4.
