Fits perfectly. I never could find brackets when I needed them, now I just print them. Thanks. (edited)

The slot cover for my E-key wireless card sits really loosely in my case, meaning the antennas flop around, so instead of an aesthetic pattern I decided to tweak this to add suitable screw holes. It turned out to be a design issue with the case, so this one was just as loose-fitting, but at least this is black to match the case instead of shiny silver.
However, when I opened the provided FreeCAD file, none of the sketches had any constraints. I'm not sure if there's some version issue or missing extension, but as it is nothing was fixed in place. I was hoping to modify this to suit the case's peculiarity, but having everything undefined and free-floating makes that a lot harder and I think I'll probably just do it from scratch instead.

Hi @LD0037_1093446, thanks for your feedback. Yes, you're right. The FreeCad file is probably really not suitable for changing the size of the slot cover. I often use QCAD for sketches because FreeCad always rounds to an accuracy of 0.01 mm when specifying dimensions. For example, you can enter 3.1415926 mm as a dimensions, but if you edit this dimensions a second time, FreeCad will round it to 3.14 mm. This more or less drives me crazy, especially with small geometries. The points no longer fit, lines are no longer closed and FreeCad complains that the sketch is not defined. So far I have not found a way in FreeCad to increase the accuracy of the dimensions, i.e. to display more decimal places in the input fields. When importing DXF files from QCAD, FreeCad adopts the exact geometry of the 2D drawing, which makes the constraints unnecessary, but of course also makes post-processing more difficult. If you need the slot in other dimensions, please feel free to give me the details and I can adjust the slot accordingly for you. Before you design it yourself, it might take me 10 minutes of work.

These are great. Was about to model them myself and they cam along just at the right time.
Thanks for the low profile ones as well. They surely will be useful for my 2U storage server.
