Since drive blanks are hard to come by for the IRIS 4D and Personal IRIS series, I went ahead and modeled a version that is easy to print.
The model consists of four pieces: the main body, two ledge pins, and one spring clip. You'll need to glue the two ledge pins and spring clip to the body with super glue once printed. I've tested this with both PLA and ASA. You may need to do the slightest bit of filing/sanding depending on your print settings.
You must print with supports enabled. The two "ledge pins" slot into the front of the cover. I recommend dry fitting them before gluing to ensure no support material is stuck inside.
On this Crimson, the left blank is 3D printed while the right blank is a factory original.
This is the same blank used on the Personal IRIS. Note than on the PI, the tolerances of the case plastic necessitate a slight bit of additional pressure and sliding the plate around to get it to seat correctly. Excessive force is not needed. If the blank doesn't want to seat, try sliding it one direction or the other until it pops into place.
