This is a minimalistic hard disk protection and it is easy to make.

Ingredients:

  • Aluminium AlMg3.5 sheet 2 mm
  • SMP, Silyl Modified Polymer, kit
  • Screws 6-32, length 5/16″

The drawing is made with BricsCAD v22. For these purposes the drawing is exported as SVG, Scalable Vector Graphics. Post processing means in this case only defining SVG borders in Inkscape.
