MicroSD Card Extention Housing for Tronxy XY2 Pro

prusaprinters

<p>Like for most others with a Tronxy XY2 printer the MicroSD Slot is very inconveniently positioned at the back of the printer and I've used a MicroSD Extender to bring it to the front. Looking around Thingiverse I came across someone else's housing design for mounting a SD Card extension to the front of their printer .</p> <p>However as I've already purchased the smaller MicroSD Card extender I decided to create my own version using the online cad designer system Tinkercad. Although I did attempt to use the original SD Card designed as a basis of my own, it ended up being easier just to start my own from scratch. I've still included a link to the original design.</p> <p>Although I've designed it for use with the Tronxy XY2, it should still fit other printers which use 20x20/40 aluminum extrusions for their frame.</p> <p>The Micro SD Card Extension Cable is a Dawa branded bought from <a href="https://www.amazon.com?linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=e4759bff1fa9a55a0f897d801ce2d765&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Amazon</a> but with some tweaking of the slot in the housing of this design it should be made to fit any brand. It's also a good way to get some experience with creating your own designs and using some CAD software.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Tronxy XY2 Pro</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>Doesn't Matter</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament Color:</strong></p> <p>Red</p> <p class="detail-setting filament_material"><strong>Filament Material: </strong> <div><p>PLA</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>I think this is a simply design which the printer settings aren't that important so you could use this for playing around with the settings.</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p><strong>Fixing to Frame</strong></p> <div><p>A couple of M4 x 12mm Bolts, I selected black Hex Socket Button Machine Bolts to match the printer's existing bolts, plus 2 x M4 T-Nuts are needed to fix the housing to the frame</p></div> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/80/d2/9f/a1/1b/IMG_20210805_151135_327.jpg"/></p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/8a/be/de/74/84/IMG_20210805_151211_508.jpg"/></p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/71/07/ca/48/18/IMG_20210805_151226_004.jpg"/></p> How I Designed This =================== <p>Designed using TickerCAD and then used Ultimaker Cura produce the gcode for the Printer</p> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
