<p>I bought a handful of USB breakout boards from Banggood, and I needed a way to Mount them inside my project boxes.</p><p>Mine in particular have 17x17mm PCB's.</p><p>This one includes a spacer in case the box has thin walls and the USB port sticks out too far although you can simply thicken the plate inside your slicer program.</p><p>I've also mixed this mount to create a cable end housing, great for making your own extensions:<br><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5020357">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5020357</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Rafts:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Supports:</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Any</p><p><strong>Infill:</strong></p><p>N/A</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Post-Printing</h3><p><strong>Cutting out the hole</strong></p><p>I generally use a reamer to carve a hole just big enough for the USB port, then using the front plate as a template, drill 2mm holes for the 1.6mm screws.</p><p>Depending on the screw, you may need to open up the holes with a reamer or fine drill bit, or use your slicer to print larger holes.</p>
