Like I said, things has to be done properly. As Z3660 limits the length of sd card extender (150-200mm), it can’t be routed to the back. I already has designed Gotek carriage in place of second 3.5″ floppy drive with additional normalk USB-connector. I decided to modify that a little and add sd card holder below the OLED screen. Here’s first prototyping.
And as you can see from the picture, I had to make and redesign the whole 5.25″ / 3.5″ drive bay, as there’s no way to route sd card extenders cable through the original carriage. But that’s how these projects usually go. Above model is by LinuxJedi and you can find it at Thingiverse.
A4000D Front drive bay is ready, final version currently printing. You can find it at printables.com. Had to make quite a few revisions, I first thought that Gotek would go on lower bay but then I found out that that won’t work with my only floppy cable and its orientation, the DF0 device has to go to bottom slot. So I made new revision which has all screw holes for 3.5 drives and passthrough for SD card extender on both bays.
