    Shock Resistant Hard Drive Enclosure (Sorbothane)

    ornerynorsk; how about "fall a few meters, or even some useful fraction of a meter, and still work"?

    Shock Resistant Hard Drive Enclosure (Sorbothane)

    I requested a sample pack of Sorbothane with the idea of making a shock resistant enclosure for a 2.5in mechanical hard drive. My original plan was to use something like this for the enclosure...

    "deployable" braces for horizontal tray supporting a 50lb object

    @kjoiner Thanks for cluing me in to Accuride, I should know them because I work with a lot of rackmount stuff. Re tipping over, probably not. But, just in case, what is the calculation? Thanks again Joe

    "deployable" braces for horizontal tray supporting a 50lb object

    Guys Thanks so much for the hints, tbh I should have thought of this myself case I worked as a fileclerk in an office briefly. But then I guess thats why you're mechanical engineers and I'm an electrical guy

    "deployable" braces for horizontal tray supporting a 50lb object

    Here is a rough drawing http://ctrlv.in/774100 The side view shows the tray "deployed"; each separate line represents 2 parallel pieces of 8020. The top rectangle in both views is the "drawer". The kit you recommended looks quite good; if I wasn't forced to build this in my bedroom I would...

    "deployable" braces for horizontal tray supporting a 50lb object

    Thanks so much for the advice. First off, if by half the bench depth you mean 7.5 (15/2), that's insufficient; I need to come out _at least_ 3/4 of the way, preferably the whole way. Second, I'm afraid I'm unclear about what you mean by "inside surfaces of the legs". Thanks again Joe

    "deployable" braces for horizontal tray supporting a 50lb object

    Apologies in advance if I get some terms wrong or am less than clear, I come from electronics-land :). I am designing a workbench for myself using 8020 extrusions (https://www.8020.net/) and one of my requirements is that I integrate a 50 lb object, dimensions approximately 60"x15"x5", such...
