Micro SD port/cable protector, Creality CR10S Pro V2

Creality CR10S Pro Micro SD Adaptor Port protector With cable for Full SD card I was seeking a solution to protect the Micro-SD-to-FULL-SD cable and PORT on the Creality CR10S Pro V2. There were some existing designs, but they either required disassembling the machine or protecting just one part. So I decided to design something myself, and this actually works well, but it is a work in progress. I made it in two parts, so that both could be printed without supports. The left side (looking at the front of the machine) holds the FULL SD card reader and the cable coming from the Micro-SD plug. The right side protects the USB port, the Micro SD port, and the protruding cable, and also gets epoxied to the left side to provide additional support. The left side is taped (double-sided gel tape, small pieces) to the Creality machine. The FULL SD card holder is taped inside the channel. I have included STL and SKP files for anyone who wants to modify this design. Please let me know if you make any changes so I can benefit from them as well. Printed with PLA+, no supports PROBLEMS Left side needs to be higher inside, because the FULL SD card holder gets squeezed into the channel when taped in place. The right side needs to be elevated about 2 mm to match the top of the left side. If the left channel is increased, then the right side will need even more height. Area over micro sd port needs a roof, which I forgot to include. Support wall next to USB port needs to be moved forward and narrowed, as it blocks the usb port on its edge and bottom. A dremel drill fixed all of V1 issues, but if I redesign it, those are the changes I would make. Another change I'd consider is turning the FULL SD CARD holder so that it's accessible from the right side of the machine (remove front left roof, add merging self between left and right to aid in epoxying). NOTE - The STL file shows errors in surfaces. The GCODE does print, but use at your own risk for defects in surface. This is a work in progress, but I was able to protect my port. This design provides protection to the wire and the port, which was my main goal. I hope this can be of benefit to others.
