I made this simple optical drive enclosure. I removed the optical drive from my MacBook and replaced it with the iFixit optical drive HD caddy, leaving me with a SATA cable and the original optical drive to use externally. This is set up to be used with a standard optical drive without any face on it, and an iFixit SATA cable (but I'm sure other SATA cables would fit into the port).
I printed it with text on the top but the font wasn't bold enough to make a good connection so I uploaded the top piece without any text on it. I used some M3x10mm bolts to secure the top. The holes are not threaded, but they're purposely sized a little smaller than an M3 bolt-diameter so that the threads can grip. It takes a little coercion to get them in so I suggest installing the bolts in each hole prior to installing the top.
