Creating 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.

One very important thing to take note in this step is that sometimes one would be needing a screwdriver. Although there are no screws found here, the outer covering may be hard to take off with just bare hands. So with a screwdriver, he will have an easier time snapping off the existing cover without damaging the inside of the usb.

After that, then the next thing he has to do would be to get a little creative and look for an outer covering. Now this part is undoubtedly the most fun part because it is where one will choose what he would want as a new cover. Now one can actually use anything regardless of the material.

Now some of the suggested things to use for this part would be some toys, lego blocks, or even clay if one would like. Of course there is no limit to the things that one can do with this. Now once he has already chosen what he wants to use for his outer covering, he now has to 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.
