3.5" - 2.5" Universal drive bay adapter.
I've been performing a great many SSD upgrades this year and got sick of modding off-the-shelf adapters to fit iMacs and other proprietary 3.5" drive bays so I put this design together.
The design criteria being:
Fit as many bays as possible with a single design.
Flexible enough to easily spring fit into larger more rigid enclosures.
Reversible
Economical filament use
Reasonably rigid once in place
Max data and power cable clearance
iMac 3.5" requires removal of the Torx lugs/mounts from the stock 3.5" drive to be screwed into the printed bracket, a T Bar Torx makes this much easier
