So I finally got sick of 3.5″ Floppy drives and modifying the aliexpress gotek clones so i built some of OpenFlops clones that have the OLED screen and rotary encoder in the them and swapped all my machines over.

Putting them together

The project is located here on GitHub: https://github.com/SukkoPera/OpenFlops. The soldering was pretty straight forward, I think the only issue I had was finding parts and finding the STL for them. I ended up using these prints on thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4760666

Programming

Getting them programmed was also pretty straight forward. I jus followed the guide here https://github.com/keirf/FlashFloppy/wiki/Firmware-Programming#stm32-microcontrollers
