3d Print Custom Covers for Pendrive
Introduction: 3d Print Custom Covers for Pendrive
Hi All,
Today I will share, how to customize your USB flash drive or Pendrive with super cool cases
Step 1: What Do We Need?
* Chip version - Pen drive
* Tinkercad
* 3D printer
* Imagination
Step 2: Base Shape
* To make a custom case,
+ we need a simple image like batman logo or ghost etc
+ or a STL file like among us or lego
* If you have decided to use simple Image
* Download a black and white image from google (best results with black and white)
* Using any jpg to SVG convertor, convert into svg (eg: https://www.pngtosvg.com/)
* Alternatively, you can download STL model from Thingiverse or cult3d or many other sites
Step 3: Tinkercad
* Tinkercad is a simple online 3D modelling tool
+ Import your model or Image in it. I will use an image
+ Import the attached SVG into Tinkercad
+ Adjust the dimensions to 25x 40 x 5 mm
+ Add two holes for eyes
+ Based on the USB drive dimensions make another hole
+ I am showing the placement of this hole by making the ghost also a hole (works like x-ray)
+ Now create a duplicate and invert by 180 degrees
+ Using holes cut the two models into upper body and lower body
* We have our 3d model ready to print
Step 4: Ghost
* Download the STL file from here
+ Resolution : 0.2mm
+ Support: Tree (Cura)
+ Raft: No
+ Print time: less than 1 hr
+ Once printed, superglue the USB drive an we are done
Step 5: <PERSON> Logo Pendrive
* Follow the same steps as the <PERSON> image to make the batman logo Pendrive case
* Download the STL file from here
+ Resolution : 0.2mm
+ Support: Tree (<PERSON>)
+ Raft: No
+ Print time: less than 1 hr
+ Once printed, superglue the USB drive and we are done
Step 6: AmongUs Pendrive Case
* An existing 3d model was imported in tinkercad
* Shrink it to the dimensions and then create a hole based on the USB dimension
* Duplicate and cut into half
* Download the STL file from here
+ Resolution : 0.2mm
+ Support: Tree (<PERSON>)
+ Raft: NoPrint time: less than 1 hr
+ Once printed, superglue the USB drive and we are done
