Ender 3 SD Card Adapter Housing

There is a newer version of this thing - Link:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3519227

This is a SD Card adapter housing for the Creality Ender 3.

This thing attaches to the Ender 3 via the 2 front screws that attach the motherboard lid (the existing screws work fine).

The thing includes an aperture to allow access to the USB port and storage for 1 x SD & 1 x Micro Sd card.

I used the foillowing Micro SD to Sd card adapter:

Assembly:

1. Insert adapter into housing. 2.Inserted and push in end stop until adapter is snug. Insert following the direction arrow to allow ratchet to work. 3.Tidy excess ribbon cable with an elastic band leaving 50mm to allow the end to be folded by 90 degrees. 4.Carefully insert Micro SD jack into appropriate slot. 5.Fix to lid via 2 x existing M3 hex bolts.

Printing:

The main body is printed vertically and does not need any supports. Dependent on build surface it may need a raft, all my prototypes worked fine without any raft.
