SD Card Storage Alternate Side for Ice Box Raspberry Pi 4 case.

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

This is a simple remix of the GPIO side of my Ice Box case for the Raspberry Pi 4 with the Ice Tower Cooler.

This is completely compatible with the original version. If you already printed the other version and want to make this upgrade, only this one part needs to be printed.
This version adds slots for two full size SD cards.
I use those microSD to full size SD adapters that seem to come with every microSD card as a storage sleeve/protector for the microSD card. Due to their larger size, it is much easier to mark what is actually on an SD card on the adapter than on the microSD card itself.
There was some empty space in the case next to the fan, above the USB ports, so I made some slots to fit those SD adapters to store alternate operating systems on.
It also kind of looks like a futurist nuclear powered chicken walking toaster, that is purely accidental I assure you, I'm totally not a time traveling refugee from the future whose dreams are haunted by visions of mankind's robotic toast-making overlords!.
There are little protrusions at the bottom of the slots to hold the SD adapters securely. You might want to run a file or X-acto knife through to tweak the slots for a perfect fit. The slots are open on their sides to provide access for tweaking, to give you a way to push the SD adapter out if it gets stuck, and to reduce print time and material use.
Works with or without the optional legs.

Uses m3 x 6mm screws, just like the original case. The only difference is the slots.
