YAMCSC - USB Adapter Remix

thingiverse

A unique remix of pbeyl's "Yet Another Micro SD Card Storage Case" that itself originated from bgill's "Micro SD Card Holder." This design cleverly transforms the center four MicroSD card slots on both sides into nano USB device holder slots, which is a practical solution for someone who doesn't need to carry 16 MicroSD cards but has several MicroSD cards and various nano wifi, bluetooth, etc. USB adapters that are normally stored loose in an Altoids tin. Modifying the bottom of the case was straightforward: simply cutting out the solid material between two existing MicroSD slots and extending the now thicker slots by 0.5mm towards both the center line and outer edge made them slightly wider. The top was extended by 5mm to provide more headroom for USB devices of varying heights, as my Edimax wifi adapter is only about 2.5mm taller than a MicroSD card, but a Fitbit USB adapter can be as much as 6.2mm taller. Despite the extra height inside allowing the MicroSD cards some slack space to slide up and down when closed, it still seems low enough to prevent them from coming out of their slots even when shaken with intent to dislodge them. Note: The top screws on pretty snugly, and following pbeyl's comment on his model, I softened it up in hot water and worked it back and forth until it was a bit easier to screw on and off.
