iX12 SD Card Holder

thingiverse

Some of you may know that leaving the SD card inserted inside the iX12 causes significant battery drain. To avoid being without my SD card for my transmitter, I made a device to hold it in place. This simple adapter press-fits into the 4 holes on the back of the transmitter and secures your SD card. It's not complicated or fancy, but it works effectively. I designed two types: one that stores your SD card vertically and another at a 90-degree angle to the side. The side-accessible version is easier to use, but the vertical design makes me feel safer knowing gravity will keep the card in place. I printed these adapters with tree supports using Cura software and it worked very well. As usual, this project is still evolving, and I might make some minor adjustments to optimize the design.
