Description

Designed for the older generation but ubiquitous Supermicro Caddies. Part # SB16105 or MCP-220-00047-0B

 

HDD Status LED's are functional with additional 2mm AND 1mm fiber-optic cable. I've used THIS by searching "fiber optic 2mm" and "fiber optic 1mm"
I have a pair of 2mm cables in the caddy face and a 1mm pair in the sled so they can separate.

You could probably print the caddy face in different colors to designate specific HDD's or different HDD pools.

Depending on how hot your HDD's are, you may want to use a different filament other than PLA because of PLA's low deformation temperature

 

To split the model into each individual object:

(In slicer) Right-click model → split → to object

 

PRINT SETTINGS I'VE USED:

Nozzle: 0.4mm

Layer Height: 0.2mm
