Car Stereo DIN/ISO Slot Cover for SD-Cards

thingiverse

Introduced at: <https://www.youmagine.com/designs/car-stereo-din-iso-slot-cover-for-sd-cards> I oppose companies enforcing lawsuits based on minor patents against other 3D printer firms. DIN slots (DIN 75490/ISO 7736) for car stereos come in two heights: single and double. If a single-height device is mounted to a double-height slot, the remaining space is usually occupied by an unhelpful plastic cover. I predominantly use SD cards and sometimes USB sticks for sound storage. A disadvantage of miniaturization: they tend to get lost. That's why I wanted to utilize the space below my car stereo for storing media safely. The design includes two models: one for heated beds without additional components, and another with extra parts to minimize warping. These can be removed after printing. The second model must be flipped upside down. Both models can be printed with only exterior support. Some support has been included to avoid extensive support structures, as the slots can be bridged effectively without it. Printing time may vary depending on settings and can reach up to 10 hours. Due to potential warping, the outer USB slots might require adjustments for a proper fit. The front of the part in the pictures has been sanded dry and wet, resulting in a smooth finish. I don't use all USB slots, so I added a simple clip that can hold a standard hexagonal pencil by plugging into one USB slot.
