Simple Enclosure/Sleeve for a 5.25" DVD or Blu-Ray Drive. Designed for the shorter 170mm drives.

Hole at the back is for an Inateck UA1001 SATA to USB3 adapter, which is the neatest/smallest one I could find (https://www.inateck.com/products/sata-to-usb-3-0-converter-adapter-fit-2-5-3-5-inch-hard-drive-disk-and-ssd-power-adapter-included-ua1001). I got mine from Amazon UK.

*It seems the Inateck adapter is no longer available or has been rebranded as Unitek which is available on Amazon UNITEK SATA to USB 3.0, SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Converter for Universal 2.5/3.5 SATA HDD/SSD Hard Drive Disk and SATA Optical Drive, Include 12V/2A Power Adapter : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

I made the walls very thin (1.5mm) mainly to reduce print time but also as the drives themselves are very solid so I didn't see the need for a thick walled enclosure. So this is more of a sleeve than an enclosure.

Screw holes on the bottom to secure it and space for rubber feet (9mm diameter).

No need for supports as screw holes are rounded so print fine. Also added a a split version for smaller printers.

*Originally from my Thingiverse listing and printed on my Anycubic i3 Mega, photos are from that print which I'll update if I print on my new Prusa MK3S+
