…move SD card slot either on the side or on the front side of the Board. Very not easy to change the SD card…

[RDFTKV]

Also tried, “micro SD card slot extender” on ebay.

Tried, micro SD extender ", on Gearbest.

I think we’ve got a solution that uSD card slot at the front side of the device.

Thanks for the great ideas.

One of the two extenders I order arrived. I semi-mounted it to the Vim.

Keeping a defective design just to be compatible with an old model? It doesn’t really make sense.

Making two new models based on the defective design? I can’t tell the logic behind it.
