microSD card holder for Monoprice Mini Select tool bracket

thingiverse

A small holder for two microSD cards. Designed to fit into http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1688459 I don't use an SD card holder for microSD cards. So, for me, it's simpler to have a bracket that just has slots for microSD cards. It'd be reasonably simple for someone to remix this to support an SD card. Have at it. One word of advice, be careful that you have all your surface faces pointing outward. I had a misprint because I had the slot faces oriented wrong. Cura showed them in the preview, but when printing it was just a solid block with no sign of the slots. Print Settings Printer: Monoprice Mini Select Rafts: Yes Supports: No Infill: 20 Notes: Note, by 'raft' in the settings, I mean use a Brim. No need for a full raft, but the small angled section on the inside needs to be anchored. A thin brim does this just fine and requires just a minimum of clean up. Suggestion: don't clean up the edges too soon. Fit it first. These items slide very easily in the bracket. You almost want some extra flash on the edges to get them to stick a little better. How I Designed This I used Sketchup. I added the 'STL exporter' extension to Sketchup (use the Windows->Extension Warehouse to find it). One imported, I lopped off all but the side profile of an existing bracket. I then created the slot. I made it a component and then duplicated it. I then positioned them where I wanted and did a push/pull on the side profile. I then went back and removed the rectangular section that SU drew over the slot openings. My mistake was when creating the slots I didn't pay attention to the orientation of the faces of the slot surfaces. I had to go back and flip them. Not a big deal but it cost me a wasted print. Then I used the STL export extension to create the file. I imported that into Cura, made my material selections and printed that from a microSD card.
