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.
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.
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.
Finally, he then has to put some epoxy or some super glue around the hole so that the drive will not come out. Now this is one of the most important steps of them all because without it, the thumb drive may definitely fall out anytime. Once he has already applied the epoxy or glue, then he should dry it using a hair dryer or electric fan.
So as one can see, it is actually so easy to create a custom thumb drive. One can actually save a lot of money by doing this at home. No longer does he need to find a store that can do this for him. As long as he has a few materials at home and is willing to spare a little bit of time and effort to do this, then he can easily create a beautifully crafted custom thumb drive.
