Sidebar for CR-10 with SD card outlet and tool holder

thingiverse

I designed a new side bar companion for the CR-10 Power Supply. It enables users to extend their micro SD storage capacity with full-size, easily inserted SD cards frontally. The product is compatible with the Amazon item: http://a.co/4kNZiRn. This innovative design includes a space for extra SD cards in the front, a secure access point for the USB cable, and a tool holder bar on top. To ensure seamless integration, it mounts to the side of the Power Supply using existing 4 mounting screws. To assemble this companion piece, users will need 4 M4 x 10 mm screws. It's highly recommended that they mount it with the bottom of the power supply removed to securely support internal components during the process of unscrewing side screws. For a professional finish, I suggest adding a few drops of hot glue to the ribbon cable of the SD extension to fold it neatly. Throughout the design process, I experimented with numerous iterations and utilized 1.5 kgs of PLA. I encourage users to share their printed versions if they're satisfied with the result. To achieve optimal print quality, I recommend printing this companion piece standing upright on the bottom rail. Users can also employ supports; however, it's not necessary, especially when printing the 45-degree rising surfaces and round holes without them.
