Oooh! Very nice work! Love the matt finish and the "QL" on the top.

Hi

Looks great can you do a dual drive enclosure?

Yes, I was thinking of this, or making a modular design where a second drive can slot under this one.

The one I shared above was made in parts , and is a bit of a prototype really, but I think the whole thing can be printed as 1 whole enclosure. The same goes for a double enclosure, as the dimensions fit within the limits of a standard 3d printer.

Also, the Matt effect was achieved by spraying it with primer and painting it with black acrylic.

Hi,

Can Black Filament or Resin be used?

Yes, of course. I only had yellow at the time. I've ordered some Matt black pla.
