Bracket to fit a 2.5 inch SSD in a 3.5 inch bay

A rail-style bracket that positions a 2.5 inch SSD inside a 3.5 inch drive bay so the case's standard screws or tool-less clips engage. The frame is 101.6 mm wide and 147 mm long to match the 3.5 inch form factor, with side rails carrying bay holes at 41.6 mm from the front and 101.6 mm apart, plus a recessed pocket where the SSD screws in from underneath on its 76.6 x 61.7 mm hole pattern. Walls of 3 mm and an open centre keep it light and airy. Open the ready-made model free, resize it on your phone or computer, then download a print-ready STL, 3MF or G-code sliced for your printer, free.
Opening the ready-made model and downloading it as STL or 3MF are free, no card; AI changes use credits, from Maker at $7.99 a month.No printer? We print this part and ship it to your door. See its priceUpdated

Print

Download a watertight STL or 3MF free, with your numbers and hand edits, or G-code sliced for your printer at the same price. After an AI change the download is included in every plan (4 credits without one).

Example prompt

Create a 2.5 to 3.5 inch drive adapter bracket. Outer frame 101.6x147x8 mm with 3 mm walls and open centre. Side holes for 3.5 inch bay screws at 41.6 mm and 101.6 mm from the front edge. Bottom pocket with four 3.2 mm holes at 76.6x61.7 mm spacing.

This prompt comes with the ready-made model when you sign in, in case you want the AI to redesign it (3 credits a redesign); changing numbers in the viewer is free.

Fit notes

Many cases have odd screw positions or need the drive offset toward the connector side; with SpeakCAD you specify those offsets rather than filing a downloaded bracket. Open the ready-made model free, change its numbers in the viewer and download the STL or 3MF free; AI changes use credits.

A shared STL is modelled for someone else's measurements. Here you open the ready-made model free, change it to your measurements in the viewer, then download a file sized for the part you actually own, free as STL or 3MF.

Yes. SpeakCAD slices the part on its servers with OrcaSlicer and your printer's official profile (380+ printers, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality and Elegoo), and you download the G-code (a sliced .gcode.3mf for Bambu Lab printers). G-code sliced for your printer costs the same as the STL: included in every plan, free for a part you shaped by hand, 4 credits without a plan for a part with AI work in it. Pick your printer on the printers page to see its profile.

No. SpeakCAD runs in the browser on your phone or computer: the chat, the 3D engine and the live viewer load in the tab. The only file you download is the finished STL, 3MF or sliced G-code.
