It protects smart card readers from dust. It can also be used as a residue-free alternative to stickers for identifying laptops (when printed in different colors).
- It's completely flush when inserted. This way it cannot get caught anywhere in the laptop bag.
- To remove it again, insert the end of a (non-coated) paperclip.
- The honeycomb pattern saves filament, and the non-honeycomb section prevents the card detection mechanism from getting stuck in the honeycomb pattern.

STL files come pre-generated for two ThinkPads I had available:
| Laptop Model | Reader location | Card sticks out by |

| ThinkPad T14s | right side | 25mm |
| Thinkpad X260 | left side | 18mm |
