Raspberry Pi NAS Frame by MPMPMP

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

This is a simple but effective frame that I designed to hold the various pieces of a Raspberry Pi-based NAS together in one place. I had initially thought to build an enclosure that held the disks inside but figured that since the disks were already in enclosures, an open frame like this would be just as good, while taking a lot less time and filament to print.
It holds three of the four different models of USB disk enclosures I have around, and should fit any that are up to about 32mm wide by 115mm tall. Obviously the length doesn't make any difference. You can put bare drives in there too if you want - you'll just need some spacers or shims.
There is a 5mm high fence on top that keeps a Raspbery Pi (or other similarly sized SBC) place whether it's in a case or not. I tried it with a case I purchased as well as one that I printed, you can find it at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3807713.
There are holes on the front, back, and top for M3x5mm screws so you can attach other things - I used two of them in the pictures here to hold velcro wraps for cable management.
