Made this because I didn't like the card reader just hanging from the top of my computer's USB port.  This is a simple two-piece mount that the reader sits in, is bolted together, and mounted to the underside of the desk.  I designed this mount around using only the SD and MicroSD card slots.  I used a 1" wide Velcro strip to hold it to the underside of the desk.  I did also end up buying an addition 6" USB cable extender so this could reach the USB port on my computer.  Your mileage may vary.

Uses (2) M3x8 button head bolts and (2) M3 nuts.  The holes for the nuts might be a little tight, but I kind of squeezed them in with some pliers and then used the bolts to draw them in the rest of the way.

I found I got the best quality prints when printing the “Lower” part on its side, but it can be printed on its base, it will just take a little longer.

Only got one picture with the top piece before I put it all together.  It was printed with a slightly different version of the bottom piece which turned out almost exactly the same as the finished version.
