    The key search words in your (Chinese? better than rewarding Amazon with even more extra fees) store of choice I wound suggest:

    3.5" to 5.25" Internal Hard Disk Mount Rubber

    But don’t get the ones where the inner mount (of the 3.5" drive) is the same piece or bolted/screwed into the outer mount (5.25").

    The ones in my pic have fairy big rubber nips in between (each secured on both sides), 4 at the bottom (that support the weight if the disk too), and two on the sides.

    Also such 5" brackets you mount anywhere rally, even on the outside of the case, lol.
    In one case without the 5.25" bays (at my parents, quick job) I mounted two disks on such mounts on that metal mesh between the PSU compartment and main compartment.

    Yeah, it’s fine … wait, IronWolves in a living space? Paired with that acoustic desk it must be like a train yard, but with more vibrations :D.

    Edit: wrote this before I saw your comment acknowledging the same.
    Well, with HDD there is the noise of the drive itself (the constant one & the searches, spin-ups), and the vibrations which can get acoustically amplified. For the former you need a case, any case, maybe a case in a case (ventilated ofc), for the latter I’ve always (since late 90s) had my HDD on full rubber, no non-rubber connection to the case.

    My current NASies all use these (in desktop cases, I don’t like server hardware if it isn’t necessary, like with disks):

    (They cost like 2 monies with shipping.)

    So if going the 3D-print way, as you mentioned, I would def add the suggestion of incorporating thicc rubber pads or rubber straps into your design, like these ones (I’ve used them a lot decades ago, the only commercial option for silent PC enthusiasts at the time, but I’ve built then myself too):

    (It’s rigid, the disks won’t fall out.)

    Poor clean spiders.

    But I get what you are saying, it makes some intuitive sense.
    In my case I think I’ve (as a kid) narrowed down the technical memetic part mostly to the very centre-point where the 8 lines end, so basically my brain recognising the legs (starting from the end of the legs) & then seeing how they “end” up in one narrow place (so, relatively to spider leg size, if the sternum looking from the bottom or the end part of prosoma from the top is “too tightly together” or even too perfectly round/octagonal shaped).
    (And spiders differ very much in that regard, even the same one in relation to how well fed it is :D.)

    Why? Idk, but doesn’t feel learned.
    (It’s still there, but not the default/I have to think about it more actively.)

    That I remember (again, as a kid) I was only triggered (differently than described above) by one “too smooth” species, the poor, harmless, misjudged beneficial, cute (well, as all spiders) wasp spiders.
    I didn’t harm them but it’s a sad memory for me bcs the smol town (or the whole valley?) I grew up in basically doesn’t have them anymore. Bcs we hate flowers/biodiversity, but love grass & pesticides I guess. I should be glad they were even still around for me to experience them.

    (No pics bcs you mentioned you only like unshaven butts & legs.)

    Oh, yeah, true - but I don’t know what species of ants it’s mimicking. Perhaps that’s just how they look too & now we are body-shaming ants for looking too spidery (‘sup, you 6-legged no-neck with that thicc ass’) :D.

    It seems like it’s Myrmarachne maxillosa, very snooty thing.

    It’s prob mimicking a puppy or something.

    Here is one desperately trying to toucha the butt of another:

    As for who they are copypastaing:

    It probably mimics the Common Spiny Ants of the genus Polyharchis.

    Yeah, these ants indeed have a dump truck:

    (And these horny spiny ants do come in way more spinier flavours, pretty metal.)

    Omg, at least it’s alive in your pic, ty <3.

    And yes, we are hardwired for some memetics about spider-looking things, but being amazed by them, understanding them biologically, & perhaps a bit of co-living (about as close to befriending them without them being “a pet” & still independent - you know, just seeing & saying hi to Clara every day, watching the life of a begin with ups & downs) may adapt how the association network in your brainhole is used.
    (Just guessing.)
