USB type A surface-mount case

thingiverse

This case is designed to fit a USB type A port that has been carefully removed from a board. The first prototype holds the connector firmly, but the snap-in bottom came out almost perfectly. Small wood screws are used for screw holes. I applied hot glue to cover up soldered connections so they wouldn't short each other or the wire shielding. Then I added some around the connector to prevent it from wobbling, but I'd like to make it secure without glue so the connector can be easily removed. (And my hot glue gun is brown because it's burning from sitting for hours.) Print Settings: Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Simple Black Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .3 mm Infill: 20% Notes: I printed this with the narrow end on the platform, bottom up, so the recessed area for the snap-in cover would come out nicely without drippiness. Coarse and fast with Hatchbox Gold PLA at 200 degrees C. How I Designed This Drawn in Sketchup based around dimensions from a USB connector.
