Crucial X10 SSD Case & Mount – Suction Cups, Thumb Ejector, Cable Pass-Through

A slim protective case that doubles as a suction-cup mount for the Crucial X10 portable SSD (65 × 50 × 10 mm). Stick it on the back of your laptop lid, a monitor or a wall, and keep the drive plugged in.

Features

- Snug fit: crush ribs hold the drive without rattling, a snap catch keeps it in.

- Thumb ejector: slide the tab on the front and the SSD pops out about 6 mm. Re-inserting the drive resets the slider.

- Cable pass-through: drop the plugged-in USB-C cable into the front slot, slide the drive in, done. No need to unplug.

- The USB-C plug is held by the case, so a snagged cable levers the case, not the SSD port.

- 4 keyholes for 20 mm mushroom-head suction cups; top and bottom pairs face opposite ways, so the case can't slide off its cups.

- Vents front and back.

What you need

- 4 × 20 mm suction cups with a mushroom head (neck ~4.4 mm, head ~8.5 mm)

- PETG recommended (heat from the SSD + flexing catch). PLA works for a test fit only.

Print settings

- PETG, 0.2 mm layers, 4 walls (1.68 mm), 30 % infill

- No supports, 5 mm brim (tall, narrow part)

- Print the case as oriented in the file (closed end on the bed)

- Slider: flat, ~10 min

Assembly

1. Slider: push its tooth through the wide end of the front slot, then slide it back toward the closed end.

2. Suction cups: push each head through the large hole, then slide it into the narrow end (top cups toward the opening, bottom cups

toward the cable end).

3. Lay the cable in the front slot, slide the SSD in until it clicks.
