Fingerprint Reader Holder v1.1

<p> This is a holder/base for a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NAVWPOJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kensington VeriMark USB Fingerprint Reader</a> and a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P0ES0VC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">UGreen USB 3.0 Extension cable</a>. There is a "desktop" version of the VeriMark, but it's more than twice the price of the regular version at present ($75 vs $37; I paid about $30 for mine in 2020). I used to have it on the side of my laptop, but am now switching to a custom desktop build, so I decided I wanted it in a base on the desk instead of in the USB hub. </p> <p> This is designed so the female connector of the USB extension goes in from the bottom and hits an internal shoulder and won't go any further, then the VeriMark is inserted from the top of the holder while keeping your finger over the underside of the slot to keep the USB connector from backing out. The fit with v1.1 should be snug enough that it holds everything securely but not so snug that it'll be impossible to disassemble. Probably would look better if I had printed it a little slower (about 80mm/s, not fully stock but also not coreXY), and if I hadn't gone crazy with the deburring tool. </p>
