3D model description

After making a custom case and setting up a Reprapdiscount LCD Controller on my Printerbot Simple Metal (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1788984) I wanted to try printing from an sd card with no computer attached. The card slot on the Printrbot is hard to reach and it makes loading a micro sd card a bit like threading a needle.

I was looking for a way to jumper the Printrbot SD slot to the card reader on the LCD controller and found this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0143QFXYO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I decided to delay my experiment with the reader on the LCD controller for now and made a housing for this adapter. This will allow me to convert the Printrbot card reader to full size SD slot. The slot is now easier to reach, and a full size card is easier to load. No more fumbles!

Quick note: My final build was done with metallic-look sliver to match my printer scheme. The red print was done so details will show up better in the photos. This is a nice red filament but came out orange looking in the photos after adjusting brightness for clearer presentation.
