microSD card holder for Monoprice Mini Select tool bracket

thingiverse

A convenient holder for two tiny memory cards. Designed to snugly fit into http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1688459. I don't use a separate card holder for these small memory cards. For me, it's simpler to have a bracket with slots just for the cards. It would be relatively easy for someone to remix this design to support a standard memory card. Have at it! One word of advice: make sure all your surfaces face outward. I made a mistake because I had the slot faces pointing inward. Cura showed them in the preview, but when printing, it was just a solid block with no sign of the slots. Print Settings Printer: Monoprice Mini Select Rafts: Yes Supports: No Infill: 20 Notes: By 'raft' in the settings, I mean use a Brim. There's no need for a full raft, but the small angled section on the inside needs to be anchored. A thin brim does this just fine and requires minimal cleanup. Suggestion: don't clean up the edges too soon. Fit it first. These items slide very easily into the bracket. You almost want some extra flash on the edges to get them to stick a little better. How I Designed This I used Sketchup. I added the 'STL exporter' extension to Sketchup (use Windows->Extension Warehouse to find it). One imported, I lopped off all but the side profile of an existing bracket. I then created the slot. I made it a component and duplicated it. I positioned them where I wanted and did a push/pull on the side profile. Then I went back and removed the rectangular section that SU drew over the slot openings. My mistake was when creating the slots, I didn't pay attention to the orientation of the faces of the slot surfaces. I had to go back and flip them. Not a big deal, but it cost me a wasted print. Then I used the STL export extension to create the file. I imported that into Cura, made my material selections, and printed it from a microSD card.
