USB Hub

So I received this USB hub as a freebie during a convention (last pictures).

While it's only using USB 2.0 I certainly have a use for it. My Microsoft Surface Pro only has one USB port so I frequently had to choose between using a mouse and plugging in a flash drive.

Since I didn't want to carry around an oversize piece of plastic with free ads I took some measurements of the PCB, jumped into Fusion 360 and created this case. In Cura I used the modify G-Code Plugin to have it pause printing just before adding the "lid". I glued in the PCB with some super glue, tucked in the cables and continued printing the rest.

I know this project is very specific to my existing hardware and can't be easily adapted by someone else, but I thought I might as well share it. Maybe someone can get some inspiration through this. Feel free to use my Fusion 360 file to modify it.

I'd love to see your prints. Post a make of it!
