MMC - SD Card Holder for CTC 3D Printer

thingiverse

A memory card holder, attachable to a CTC 3D Printer, similar to MakerBot or FlashForge units, was designed in V1 using Sketchup after discovering that other MMC holders were not suitable for the CTC clone. On 05/11/2014, V2 was uploaded, redesigned with Autodesk 123D Design. While 123D Design's 2D drawing capabilities lag behind Sketchup, it offers superior 3D manipulation. For instance, rounding the edges of V2 was easier than beveling those of V1 in Sketchup. To use this holder, print its STL file on your 3D printer; printing on its side is recommended to avoid support structures for overhanging clips. My suggested settings include 10% infill, 2 shells, and .20mm layer height. The memory card slots are intentionally loose for easy access and use with CTC printers. It's hoped that older MakerBots and Flashforge printers with 5mm-thick plywood enclosures can also utilize this clip.
