SmartQ C368 USB SD Card Reader Mount

thingiverse

Made this because I didn't like the card reader just hanging from the top of my computer's USB port. This is a simple two-piece mount that the reader sits in, is bolted together, and mounted to the underside of the desk. I designed this mount around using only the SD and MicroSD card slots. Uses (2) M3x8 button head bolts and (2) M3 nuts. The holes for the nuts might be a little tight, but I kind of squeezed them in with some pliers and then used the bolts to draw them in the rest of the way. I used a 1" wide Velcro strip to hold it to the underside of the desk. I found I got the best quality prints when printing the “Lower” part on its side, but it can be printed on its base, it will just take a little longer, and the through holes for the bolts might be a little more boogered up. There is one photo that shows both the top and bottom pieces, the lower part being an older version. The uploaded STL is almost the exact same, except for a little cross bar over the two holes in the front that were added for more rigidity.
