Needed a quick-and-dirty PCI slot bracket to stick a panel mount USB3 thing in because I built myself into a corner. My nice, a e s t h e t i c green server board that I am repurposing as an office PC build had only two(!) rear USB ports, and the only slot I could use was sandwiched between the 2 ⅓ slot GPU and the case fan at the bottom, leaving very little clearance in the Jonsbo TK1 matx case I am using. 

I obtained a USB header thing for this. This model is designed around it. Linked below.

I only had Elegoo Rapid PETG available and didn't feel like ordering/waiting for new filament just for this. I can't speak for all PETG but this particular one is a bit too flexible for this use case, and comes out somewhere between very bendy and slightly floppy. Not ideal! So, did a lazy and slightly drunken remix job and now I have  a slightly more reasonable 4 USB ports in the back (and I get to keep my GPU and 10Gbe card too!)

The ports actually stick out the back, but this allows more space where I need it- inside the case. The extrusions are sized to fit the panel mount jacks reasonably snugly and also cover the sides.

I also hit undo a few times after completion to get a reinforced blank PCI slot cover in case somebody needs it (probably a better remix basis than this model is). Link below:

SETTINGS

This model is not picky.  All I had is Elegoo Rapid PETG and it works fine enough for structural purposes. Anything more rigid, like ABS/ASA/PLA should be fine though I will note the flexibility of PETG can aid insertion in cramped scenarios. 

I use .2 layer height, 30% infill and 4 wall loops, 3 each top and bottom shell layers, cube infill. This is excessive but just what I keep Orcaslicer locked at as it is what I use for most of my prints and it didn't seem worth burning time fat-trimming for something this small.

Less of all of those should be fine given the size. I will note that the basis model suggests 20% infill and basically whatever for other settings. That should be fine.

No supports should be needed though I can only speak for my own rig and material.

VARIANTS

There are two models here: “Centered” and “Offset.” Centered has an alignment similar to a normal one of these things that you can find for sale. “Offset” is what I ultimately needed to do to get the thing to fit. It shifts the ports towards the motherboard and slightly downward.
