Poor Man's PC Peripheral Card Interlock (PCI/AGP/ISA card holder)

thingiverse

Note (June 1, 2020): I identified a design flaw in the original design prior to that date, which prevented cards with PCBs taller than the bracket from fitting. This issue has now been resolved. Some images still showcase the outdated design, but the differences are minor. The updated designs can be found in the blender and STL files. This is my over-engineered PCI/ISA/AGP card holder. I required a solution to hold together four peripheral cards - one AGP and four PCI - for a computer without a case that was still in use. Other available designs were more complex open-case solutions, which were intriguing ideas, but I sought something simpler that focused on the slots. The design consists of two components: a top section placed onto the PCI card bracket and a bottom section slid between the bracket and the top interconnect. These models feature generous margins to accommodate poorly specified PCI slots. If they appear loose, try reducing the height or applying electrical tape. Fortunately, no modifications were necessary for me. Included files: - Blender project - STL files for 2 to 8 slots - STL files for single slots (without side faces) for custom versions The blender project also includes a mock of four PCI slots, which I borrowed from jolang's PCI slot: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2860818 This design was itself a remix of Sverre Svenningsen's Raspberry PCI holder: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2720009 The mock was used to test the fit of my model.
