Wanted: Dimensions / Measurements to 3D Print a Macintosh G3 Desktop Zip Drive Carrier

[VeryVon]

Hello, I have a Macintosh G3 Desktop with a Zip Drive front bezel, but no drive or adapter. I probably can dig up a drive, but I don't have the carrier. Anyone have one they could measure? Planning on 3D printing one. Thanks.

Front:


Carrier that I don't have and need dimensions for:

The zip drive mounting arrangements are the same as a 3.5" hard disk.

The photos you've shared are the CD-ROM (5") sled.

This might be what you're looking for? There are a couple of slightly different designs.

Thanks @Phipli do you own a G3 desktop and have some photos of that? Here's one I was able to turn up:



It makes sense too, because when I tried to mount the zip disk directly to a sled, it was a drive's height too low. In other words, when the zip drive is mounted only with a sled, when you look through the front of the zip disk bezel, the bottom of the bezel "port hole" is level with the top of the drive.

Here's a picture of what I mean. Here the zip drive is mounted only on a sled without the carrier:
