# Floppy Drive Case for 5.25 and 3.5 drives

## Overview

https://youtu.be/lkSPbMg1TSY

3D Print protective cases for 5.25" + 3.5" Floppy Drives!

These cases are designed to slip over standard floppy drives without any hardware and they feature an embossed pattern of little Adafruit logos.

These are printed with Translucent PLA filament and sliced with only shells and no infill.

The transparency is clear enough to make out the internal parts and it looks pretty cool!

We designed the sleeve with a recesses on one side so you can stack a 3.5" in floppy drive on top.

Just slide the case between the walls to press fit and stack the drive, saving desk space!

We think these cases give off vibes from the 90’s clear electronics trend.

We hope this inspires you to 3d print your next project enclosure in translucent filament and bring back the nostalgia.
