GONK Droid USB Hub

The core design was taken from Zachary Rhyner on GrabCAD. All I did was scale the model, section it, add screw holes, add the hole for the hub, and added the drawer.

I printed this because I love star wars and thought my USB hub was fitting for it. Decided I'd upload it here for those who'd like to print it too.

This model isn't flawless, and I set this up in a way that made sense to me, without others in mind. I don't intend to make improvements as I was only going to print this once, so it's on you to tweak it to your liking. One thing you'll need to do is place something rigid behind the hub to prevent it from shifting back when you press on it. The cord holds it in place for the most part.

This is the USB hub used. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K0P8GJQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_TdCgOMVAmmx6u

These are the screws used. The tapping screws used on PC case fans might work as well. https://www.mcmaster.com/96068A219

SUNLU PLA Gray 

Notes: 

This was printed with a .8mm nozzle! You may need a larger infill for smaller nozzles.

Top rear - print with inside face on build plate (to match front), no supports
Top front (hub) - print with inside face on build plate, no supports
Midsection - print upside down, no supports
Drawer - print right side up so bottom is parallel to build plate, supports on
Bottom - print with back side down to minimize supports, supports on

With a .8mm nozzle this took close to 24hrs total, so plan accordingly if you're using a .4mm. It used close to 1kg of pla.
