WD My Book -> Dock Conversion
WD My Book -> Dock Conversion
3D

Convert your old WD my book USB 3.0 into a docking station to fit any SATA based drive.
This will allow you to plug in any internal drive via USB 3.0. This makes things easier if you have a few HDDs lying around and you want to make good use of them.
I used a 1TB USB 3.0 version of the WD My Book.
The PCB_Holder model may need changing if your PCB shape/ layout is in any way different than mine. Any PCB version that's within 65mm x 65mm can be made to fit by altering the PCB_holder model.
Other than that, everything just friction-fits together. You can use glue or a 3D pen to weld the parts together if you want to.
Printing time is roughly 3hrs per large piece, 30min for PCB_holder, and 45min for the side piece.
For a total of about 10.5hrs to print everything.
