Ender3 Left-hand Control Box with SD Card Reader Mount
Description
This is a remix of Takayuki-Mano's Ender3 ControlBox (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3313967) - Special thanks for including the STEP files! I mirrored the left and right sides so it can be mounted on the left side of the Ender3, making it easier for us southpaws to use. I also made a variant that supports an SD card reader with a snap-on bracket to hold it in place, though it seems to hold fine by friction. I made the cable cut out in the lower side a little longer to accommodate the width of the card read's ribbon cable. You will need 4 M3x6mm bolts with nuts to attach the t-slot bars. I bought the SD card reader on Amazon; "TF Micro SD to SD Card Extension Cable Adapter Flexible Extender for Car GPS". I removed the black casing from the reader. It was very easy to pry off without damaging it should you want to put back to original condition later. I'm still actually printing my final version after a couple prototypes, so I'll add photos soon. I also plan to add some some cable management inside since the card reader has about 47cm (18.5") of ribbon cable, plus having the control so close to the motherboard leaves a lot of slack from that cable too. I hope to design a protective cover to protect the micro-card insert on the motherboard.
