I did this for my Master 128

Printed with a RAL1015 filament which just a hint more yellow than the master itself. I am also using 2 Sony 920 drives and all seem to work perfectly.

I have new clear feet on order to replace the black ones to ensure that they don't leave any black gunk on my newly restored Master.
Older thread I know. But I've printed up a couple of these enclosures. And ill be using Samsung SFD-321B floppy drives as i have a stash of 7 new old stock units. and after buying a Atari STe stash recently which had 620 or so 3.5" DD floppies that with the help of a neodymium magnet as some were throwing "cant find track 0".. and my greaseweazle I seem to be getting 90% so far to format (done around 100) and the Atari can read them. so I have a source of the right kinda DD media.

Can I ask how you connected these internally? I have a couple of different options/ideas one is a dual 12/5v brick PSU. this will need the original connection changed to something more suitable. or the least resistance option a 5v "power plug" barrel jack type but this is only 1 or 1.5a so unsure if it will put out enough juice for 2 drives. im positive the samsungs are 5v only. as I use one in my greaseweazle.. also housed in a 3d printed enclosure.
