Doctor Who TARDIS Enclosure For Sabrent Hard Drive Enclosure

Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3129349.

After ripping all of my Doctor Who DVDs to an external hard drive (for faster, easier access), I thought it'd only be appropriate if the hard drive was in a Doctor Who TARDIS enclosure. I designed this to be used specifically with a Sabrent 2.5-Inch SATA to USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Enclosure but it could be used with any case, either with or without slight modification.

I had hoped that the light from the drive's activity indicator LED would illuminate the window, but unfortunately, it doesn't work as I'd hope. If you use a translucent blue, like I did, the LED does shine through the plastic, though.

There are two versions here. One, the one that I printed, is designed to lie flat on the desk. The hard drive sits down into the lower half and the top half slips down on to it. The other version is designed to stand upright with the hard drive just slipping down into the one piece case from the top.

Which ever version you choose, you will need to also print the beacon_insert and the window insert as well as the notice.

NOTE Due to either a Thingiverse bug or (more likely) shadowbanning, my models no longer show up under the [Newest] listings. If you want to see more of my models, please be sure to 'follow' me.
