Notes: 

• You need 1x bottom part and 4x top connector

Bottom part is slighly tricky, but bottom is just 1,5 mm height. So you should be able to bend it enough to get disk in place.

1) Open "re-write" switch to have square holes on both sides of floppy disk

2) First, fix on place right side of floppy disk (move it in from side, not from top)

3) Bend the bottom and (again) fix in another side of floppy disk from side, not from top

Opened re-write switch

Right side first and it has to move in from side, not from top

This is tricky part - bend (and prey) to fit anoter hole in holder

How I Designed This

Hail to the Verbatim!

When I clean our old office for reconstruction, I found unpacked box of Verbatim 3,5" floppy
disks. It is interesting. 20 years ago, I use whole 1,44 MB capacity of Verbatim diskettes to transfer some old DOS games to my PC. Today I have one spool of Verbatim filament in my makers space. So, why not merge history with present?

Goal was to make this in minimalist design. Point is diskettes, not plastic holder itself, right? I also wish to take advantage of different holes and curves which normally hold floppy disk in drive.
