Some time ago, my friend from the United States purchased an A3000 Tower without the 5.25” drive bracket. He asked me if I could help design a replacement. Unfortunately, without owning the case, I wasn’t in a position in which I could help.
Recently, another friend from Australia (Seb132) became an owner of an A3000 Tower. He has skills in 3D design and generously agreed to produce a 3D model of the bracket in question. Using his work, I was able to create CAD files for laser cutting and folding. In the pictures below, you can see the final outcome. Once the bracket reaches my friend in the U.S. I will provide more pictures of how it looks and fits inside the case.
I omitted only the Z-style mounts for a 3.5" hard disk, as they can easily and cheaply be reproduced with 3D-prints.

P.S.
I am very interested in acquiring an Amiga 1000 model for a reasonable price. I will consider any condition.
