32mm floppy drive Gotek + STM32 + OLED bracket by Carcenomy

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

For a while there I owned an Amiga 2000 and was always a little frustrated that to install a Gotek you'd either have the big gap at the top since Goteks are 25mm tall, or need to print a multi piece bracket that needed gluing together. No offence to CrazyBob for his work however, his bracket does fit well and looks pretty sharp.
This one is designed around a real Amiga 2000 Chinon floppy mechanism, with the faceplate modelled to match - with a good enough printer it should look relatively convincing, or at least with some more finishing work rather than straight off the print bed! The faceplate is designed to be screwed onto the baseplate from underneath with two countersunk M3 screws. The only glue required would be a dab of hot glue to hold the OLED in if used.
The Gotek itself is lined up so that the buttons and USB port appear inside what would be the floppy drive slot on the real Chinon. There's provisions inside for the STM32 "Blue Pill" for FFOSD use, as well as room for a 27mm speaker (Jaycar AS3002) for floppy sounds.
Two faceplate options are included - one with room for an OLED display (Jaycar XC4384) or one that's blank since you don't really need a display with FFOSD.
This bracket although initially targeted at the Amiga 2000 will fit basically any computer that uses 32mm tall floppy drives, including I believe the Amiga 4000 in some cases and the BBC Master Compact, among others. It's not a final design, there'll probably be variations as time goes by, but it's presentable enough for others to start printing and giving feedback on.
