So, you have this cool Swatch-watch and don't know how to move that mechanical stuff to the next millenium? You ever wanted to be a spy or something? Then this is for you...
This is a spy-style microSD-card holder for the "Swatch Sistem Boreal YIS401G" and other watches with the same metal wrist, created on TinkerCAD.com and printed with a Dremel 3D-printer.
(Don't worry, the link for the TinkerCAD model is at the bottom of this post.)
First I wanted to make a round inner part which can be turned to open it. But this would not fit in.
So I made a "cheap and dirty" rectangular inner part which...is better than I thought.
The microSD-card locks the inner part from falling out. But it does fall out easily if it is "unlocked".
The outer part fits into the latch of the metal wrist, it can be "clicked in"...
After some trial-and-error 3D-prints I had the right end product, which properly "locks" and "unlocks" and fits into place at all.
As you can see here, it does not fit exactly when you wear the watch. But there is no less comfort for me, and it is almost invisible. If I had used 3dMax or such, that would be no problem to fix. ;)

I hope you like it. Here is the TinkerCad-model.
