Double-MicroSD Lozenge

thingiverse

Those teensy little microSD cards are just asking to get lost among the detritus of our lives, so having some way to carry them about in a slightly larger form factor is helpful. My Lozenge-sized holder is a bit more manageable to carry about, esp with the ring-hole. You might remember my SD_Card_Six_plus_Three which holds six microSDs and three full sized SDs. It was itself a remix of card holder from @PhantomEbay. But I've found myself mostly just swapping between two microSDs in my 3D printer, so a smaller design seemed attractive. This one has two slots, nicely finished edges, and my patented (not really) tension-bump to ensure the card stays put in the slot nicely. It also has a chamfered key-ring hole, so you can attach it to a loop. PLUS with the small design, it prints on-edge very well, so the slots get better formed and need less clean-up after printing. The label indent is handy for putting your contact info on, or indicating what the cards therein are related to. See my pic above for the deets. NB: my print seems to hold the microSD cards nicely snug, yet still easily removable. There's a risk if your printer-result doesn't hold firmly. On a key-ring you may dislodge a card and lose it, so judge for yourself if it's safe to carry your data around like that. I like the loop just for hanging the thing up. :) Print Settings Printer: MP Select Mini Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: .1mm Infill: 35% Notes: These settings were the ones I used. The raft is handy for a good hold-down while printing the item balanced on the edge. If you have really good bed-adhesion, you may be okay without the raft. A .2mm resolution may be fine if your printer has that as a bottom end. Give it a shot, it's a very tiny piece that uses little filament. I like a reasonably high-fill for durability though with such a thin item the shell may make that moot. Printing on edge avoids the need for supports in tiny places which don't work so well.
