3D-Printed Hard Drive Tray for ioSafe NAS (tested with 218 model)

This custom 3D-printed hard drive tray is designed specifically for the ioSafe 218 fireproof NAS. After purchasing a used unit without drive trays, I found that no existing model was available, so I created this to ensure a proper fit. This tray aligns with the standard mounting holes of a 3.5" hard drive and secures it within the NAS enclosure, maintaining the intended fireproof seal.

The design should also be compatible with other ioSafe models that use a similar 2-bay drive system, based on my observations. The tray is engineered with tight tolerances, ensuring a snug and secure fit while minimizing unnecessary gaps that could compromise the enclosure’s protective properties.

For optimal results, it is recommended to print the model vertically. Due to the precise fit, low-profile hard drive screws should be used to prevent any interference when sliding the tray into place.

Key Features:

• Designed for ioSafe 218 NAS – Ensures proper drive alignment and a secure fit within the enclosure.
• Compatible with similar 2-bay ioSafe models – Based on observed mounting similarities.
• Fits standard 3.5" hard drives – Matches standard screw hole placement.
• Tight tolerances (~2mm clearance) – Provides a snug fit to maintain fireproof sealing.
• Use low-profile screws – Prevents interference with NAS slot clearance.
• Print orientation: vertical – Recommended for optimal strength and fit.

This tray is a practical solution for anyone with an ioSafe NAS missing its original drive trays, ensuring both functionality and protection remain uncompromised.
