Sinclair ZX Spectrum Microdrive USB-A SD Card

Description
*** REQUIRES A 0.2MM NOZZLE*** - I've tried 0.4mm and the result is awful.
Here's a replica Sinclair ZX Spectrum Microdrive which is actually (subject to you buying and inserting one(*)) a USB-A Micro SD card holder. - Perfect if you happen to have just acquired a brand spanking new ‘The Spectrum’ from Retro Games - a truly wondrous thing!
Massive thanks to ‘Marcel_X’ who kindly provided the original geometry for this (see his wonderful full-sized Microdrive, Interface One and ROM cartridges on here - they're amazing). He did the hard work, I just stitched, sized, filled, cut, painted and generally tinkered.
Presented here in two versions: -
One is two colour (you could achieve this without an AMS, as red is only on the top layers)
The other is four/five colours. - The photos show it in 4 colours as I don't have the capability to print in 5 colours (sniff). - To achieve 4 colours, when you go to print, simply assign the cyan colour to your black reel on the AMS. Those lucky few with 5+ colour capabilities, knock yourselves out! - It'll default to 5 colours.
(*) Available in the UK from ‘that ubiquitous online store’ for c.£9 without a micro SD card.
Remember - if you're using this with ‘The Spectrum’, it's a maximum of 32GB per partition and no more than 255(**) files per folder.
(**) I believe 256 is the actual tipping point, so I'm being safe here.
Enjoy!
