Valve Index 5.25″ drive bay adapter

A while back someone made a drive bay adapter for the HTC Vive linkbox and I wanted to make something similar for a friend that owns a Valve Index (and for me when I eventually buy my own).

I’ve only tested this print with my own machine, and the intent is to use 3ft DisplayPort and USB 3.0 cables routed to the back of one’s case, as well as using the 12 volt power from the PC’s power supply unit. I went with Cable Matters DP to DP 3ft extension cord, and AmazonBasic’s USB 3.0 3ft extension because of cost and because I had them at my desk to measure. The power plug is just a 5.5mm barrel plug pigtail I got off Amazon and powered via a Molex connector from my PSU, which I need to find an adapter for to use with the Index. I recommend finding a PCIe cover with cable management capabilities to help route the DisplayPort and USB from the back of the case to the front. I would like to make my own just for this later.

This is one of my first custom prints, and I’m still learning about 3D printing in general, so feedback is much appreciated.
