Doctor Who TARDIS Enclosure For Sabrent Hard Drive Enclosure

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.
- top - printed in blue; pause the print at 22.8mm and swap to white filament for the "Police Box" lettering.
- bottom - printed in blue
- notice - printed in white; pause the print at 1mm and swap to black filament for the lettering. With a 4mm nozzle, the words won't actually be legible, but it will give the indication of text. With a smaller nozzle, the text should actually be legible.
- windows_insert - printed in clear
- beacon_insert - printed in clear
I know MakerGeeks has poor customer service, but I printed this in MakerGeeks Raptor PLA - HD Blue Steel from when I was a GeekBox Subscriber. If you can find this somewhere else, it is the perfect color for this print.
