Inateck FE3001 Hard Disk Drive Enclosure Mounting Bracket

The openSCAD script provides a configurable mounting bracket for use with the Inateck FE3001 Aluminum USB 3.0 Hard Disk Drive Enclosure. Product link: https://www.inateck.com/inateck-fe3001-3-5-usb-3-0-superspeed-hdd-external-enclosure.html

The bracket can be prepared so that the drive enclosure is mounted in a lay-flat configuration, or in an upright, on-edge configuration. A top-level geometry section of the script allows the user to specify the desired openSCAD result. Two components are provided. One serves as a wrap-around for the drive enclosure, and the second component serves as a base.

The wrap component can be configured with a closed bottom and used alone for a low-profile mount. Configuring the wrap component with an "open" bottom allows it to be "sprung" over an assembled enclosure with the OEM rubber feet installed. Here, use of the base component can be used to help stabilize the open-bottom wrap component when mounting the enclosure. The base component also increases the gap available for convection airflow cooling between the enclosure and the mounting surface.

STL files have provided for both the lay-flat and upright brackets with open-bottom wrap components. Two brackets would typically be used to mount the enclosure.
