Description
I wanted a simple way to add 4-6 SSDs for server storage to my small portable 10" rack. I was not super happy with any of the existing solutions, so I modelled this, and figured I would like to have an option to expand with even more SSDs and thus it now has space for 8, which I believe is the maximum possible in a 1U unit, due to the width of 3 SSD's being just too wide. Each SSD mounts with small bolts on the side, while having a small ledge in the middle of the model for the SSDs to rest on. Note that if the bolts are tightened too much the SSD will possibly lift off the ledge. Print front face down and maybe use settings for stronger prints. I only printed with standard settings 0.2mm height 0.4mm nozzle and 15% infill in PLA. Time will reveal how well it holds up long term in PLA, but for a more robust solution go with PETG, if worried about heat and sagging. No supports needed.
