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 of the disk too), and two on the sides.
Also such 5" brackets you can 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 the 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.)
Milfy Way, or Milfky Way.
(Aka The way of the milf.)
It's such a shitty joke (my brainhole entertains itself in the stupidest, nonsensical, basic ways).
The Cummy skid mark? Yeah, I know it, I grew up there!
Google says
Oh, so the chances are it's probably very good for EU, nice, carry on.
This is about public opinion, so it shouldn't matter what Google says & people should understand that all megacorp speech is propaganda for their (fairly short-term) profit. And that such statements basically shouldn't get the coverage they are getting (but still some is necessary to have the knowledge to understand other fuckery that megacorp will engage in to achieve it's goals).
Profit maximisation.
... like, as a punishment, and you volunteer?
(jk, the forests are nice)
True, the economy is saved!!
