Making Custom Made Usb Drives

By Tammie Caldwell


Ever since USBs have become pretty much a necessity for everyone who owns a computer these days, many people have been wanting to spruce up their thumb drives. Now there are actually stores or people who would create custom made usb drives for these type of people. Now with a few materials at home and some effort, it is actually possible to save a lot of money and create custom thumb drives right at home.

The very first thing that one would do would be to of course get a thumb drive and take off its existing outer cover. This is an imperative step in the process because one cannot create another outer cover if there already is in. Now when doing this, one has to be extremely careful as not to damage to inside.

Of course it is suggested that one would use a screwdriver for this job because it will help protect the inside. Now the screwdriver will be able to help in a sense that it will easily crack open the case. It is more efficient than just using bare hands because if one will use his bare hands, then he may use too much force and damage the inside.

The next step in this process would be to find an outer covering for the thumb drive. Now this is the rather interesting part because this is where one can get creative. This outer covering can be made from practically any material ranging from plastic to metal or anything else.

Some popular things that are used as outer coverings would be old toys, clay, or even legos. However, one does not need to limit himself to these things as he can get as creative as he wants. Once he has already chosen an outer covering for his usb, then he may go on to the next step and get himself a drill.

In this step, one would have to get a drill because he will need to open up a hole if for example, his toy does not have a hole on top. Now he will be needing a lot of measurements like the width as well as the length. Once he has already drilled the hole, then all he has to do would be to put the usb in.

The last step in the process is to use some epoxy or super glue to stick the thumb drive to the hole. To do this step, one has to just slot the drive inside the hole then put the glue all over the entrance of the hole. After that, he should let the glue dry by putting the newly made thumb drive across an electric fan so that the glue will dry.

So basically, those are some steps on how to create a custom thumb drive. Most people would go to stores in order to make these things. However, one can actually save a lot of money and time if he would just learn the easy steps of creating these things at his very home. These steps are extremely easy to do and practically anyone can do it as long as he has some basic materials at home.
