Square Reader Dock

thingiverse

Another Dock to hold the Square Chip & Card Reader. Once the Chip reader is in the dock, plugging in the USB cable from the rear stops the reader from falling out of the dock (more convenience that a security feature!) This dock also allows the Mag Stripe reader to clip in underneath (with a suitable extension cable) so clients can swipe, insert or tap on the same dock. Have also built in a location for a rechargeable USB battery (was a promotional give-a-way) to extend the battery life of the reader with a pocket to tuck away excess cable length, and even a pen holder - just in case... Intended to be printed standing up on its rear surface. I set mine to print with no raft or supports at machine maximum resolution, and there was minimal knife work to clean up the print to usable condition. You may need to adjust these settings to suit your machine / filament / climate etc. I had been a little too economical with the size of the stripe reader access hole in the v1.0 design - so my stripe reader didn't quite clip in properly - but I have enlarged it in this version so it should slot right in. Just be sure to fit the stripe reader with the square logo to the outside so the card slot lines up correctly.
