Have you often found thatyour SD card or USB drive frequently gets lost?Are you still troubled by the inability to organize various cards?Don’t worry!Today, I will teach youhow to create a portable SD card and USB drive storage slot using a 3D printer.1. Small Tips1. Use 123D software, which can be downloaded from the official website (www.cxsw3d.com). Extraction code: 9qje2. During the making process, there are 5 commands used: Box, Extrude, Rectangle, Copy, Paste.2. Notes1. When drawing a line segment on one face of the shape, you need to first select the face of the model, and then click the command.2. The length of each small grid on the bottom mesh is 5mm.3.

3. Select the triangle, click on the Extrude option to extrude the height to-110mm.
