I bought a handful of USB breakout boards from Banggood, and I remixed my own mount to create a standalone plug end. Great for making custom USB extensions!
The USB boards in question use 17x17mm PCB's.
The front plate is rather thick since it's using the housing meant for project boxes. Maybe some day I'll redesign the housing for that as well as setting the screw holes horizontally.
Based on the case mount I made for the USB board:

Assembly:
Needs 2 1.6mm screws, 10mm length..
I would start with putting the front plate around the port first, then pushing the board into the housing after soldering the wires.
The holes are made a bit tight to ensure grip, but you can always ream out the cover's holes to 2mm for easier assembly.
PLA or PETG works well.
Make sure Thin Wall detection is on, and print as loaded.
The bridging at the top should be fine, no need for supports.
