HDD enclosure for Raspberry Pi (or SATA-to-USB)

Description

This Is An Enclosure For Two 3.5" Sata Hard Drives That Need To Be Connected Through Sata-To-Usb Adapters. My Particular Need Is To Connect To A Raspberry Pi, So I Included Accommodations For A Pi Case. My Media Server Died, And I Wanted To Replace It With Plex Running On A Raspberry Pi, But The Dead Server Is A Desktop And Uses 3.5" Hard Drives For Media Storage (Even If It Didn'T, Those Are Cheap, So That'S The Route I Probably Would Have Chosen Anyway). I Couldn'T Find Anything To Suit My Needs, So I Fired Up Openscad And Made My Own. This Enclosure Worked So Well For Our Plex Media Server, I Decided To Print Another So I Could Add Cheap Hard Drives To Our Retropie System And Expand Its Capacity. Now I Have A Black One Hiding In A Cabinet And A Purple One For Everyone To See. This Was Designed To Hold Two Drives Together (A Main Drive And A Backup, In My Case), Capture/Hold The Sata-To-Usb Adapters For Those Drives, And Screw A Raspberry Pi Case Onto The Drive Enclosure. You Will Need To Print The Matching Raspberry Pi Case, Which Is Here: Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:922740 I'Ve Printed The Linked Raspberry Pi Case More Than A Dozen Times (I Even Made A Remix For Cnc Routers), And It'S The Best One I'Ve Found For My Needs. Others Can Be Attached To This Hdd Enclosure With Little Or No Changes - I Just Included Mount Points For The One I Prefer, Which Turned Out To Be Easy Since It Was Designed With Vesa Mounts. Assembly Info Is In An Attached Pdf File.
