10 inch Rack 2U : 6 x 3.5 inch HDD - Hot Swap ! Compact !

EDIT

V3: Following feedbacks, I added +0.3mm tolerance on the sides and +0.15mm on the height, This definitly make it easier to insert the HDD. I can't do more becauce it would loose structural integrity imo.

Design:

All tolerance are the same as for the 2x 3.5 HDD model
HOT SWAP is possible. I really wanted that feature and couldn't find it anywhere on printable/makerworld
Satisfying Click!
Extremely compact ! only takes 2U for 6HDD
Experimental… As the design is REALLY compact i'm not certain about heat dissipation, or rather, i'm certain that there is NONE for the center HDDs. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK…
I suspect the screws for the bottom and middle connector might be hard to tighten… once again EXPERIMENTAL: compact concept is cool but is it smart ? Not sure ^^

Print:

No support ! Print face down
Tolerance are quite tight, make sure to take your time to print it (I used 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layers)

Other Material:

I use those refurbished caddy from Aliexpress:

keywords: " 3.5'' SAS SATA Hard Drive Tray Caddy for Dell PowerEdge R730 730xd R720 R720XD R710 R520 R410 R420 T420 T620 T630 058CWC 0KG1CH "

Each tray is about 5eur:

For the Hot swappable connection:

Currently 5eur for 5 !:
