Stackable SSD Case for Intel NUC

This Case allows your to add an SSD drive to Intel NUC systems that normally do not accommodate the space for it.

It replaces the stock bottom lid and uses the original screws to fix it to the Intel NUC.

The Case is designed in such a way that you can stack it on an other NUC giving you the possibility to create a stable tower of NUC's.

If you use it that way the hole in the front will provide access to the on/off switch of the NUC bellow.

You can close up this hole with "NUC_ON_OFF_HOLE_FIller.stl" when you don't need it, like for the NUC on the bottom of your tower.

To fix the SSD in to place you use "NUC_SSD_Fixation_Bar.stl".

If you are not stacking or for the NUC at the bottom you can print "NUC_Leg.stl" four times. these leg's fit into the four corner holes of the SSD Case and can accomodate the rubber feet of the original bottom lid to make sure your NUC (tower) does not slide of the table.

Make sure to use SATA and Power cables with square connectors on the SSD end otherwise it won't fit. This tight fit is due to the standard dimensions of the NUC itself that I wanted to stay within for esthetics.

I printed everything in white PETG with support for overhangs over 85 degrees. This way you only get support where it is really needed. Make sure to print the legs without support otherwise the narrow space that accommodates the rubber ring will fill up which will be really hard to remove.

If you are going to use this model I would really like to read about your findings and see your end results, so please take the time to write down your findings and upload your pictures ;).

And if you really really really love the model you are free to buy me a beer trough Patreon if you want ;)

Post-Printing

If you follow up on my advise regarding support printing you will only need to remove little support from one corner and from the square hole where the fixation bar will be slotted in.
