Lego USB Stick

Intro Lego USB Stick




Step 1

Creating The Case

Because the memory stick was quite large (in dimensions, not in storage capacity)

you 'll had to create a 6x3 Lego brick. Chopped a 4x2 and a 2x2 brick in half

using a pen knife and another brick as a guide, the pliers on the same penknife

were then used to remove the inner bits of the bricks and then the

knife was used once again to remove the sides. Another 4x2 and a 2x2 brick were
then used to create the case.

The four parts were stuck together using super glue and a steady hand.







step 2
Installing the stick

A groove was cut into the case to locate the USB connector and after a small amount

of modification to the PCB the stick was installed.







step 3
Securing the stick

Stuck an offcut of one of the bricks at the bottom of the case to

made the stick sit at the right height. Then packed the whole thing full of clear

silicone to made it stronger and reduce any movement from the stick.

Clear silicone was important as it still allows light to shine through.







step 4

Stick it together and polish

Stuck a flat 6x2 and 6x1 brick to the top of the case to enclosed it all.

Because of the amount of joins and glue lines some of the bricks weren't totally

level so used some fine wet and dry paper to level the edges up.

Two different grades of metal polish were then used to make the edges smooth and shiny again.







step 5


Finished

Have fun :)
