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.
Now the first step in doing this would be to get a thumb drive and take out the existing case. It is important to get the internals because this is what will be used to make the custom made drive. One has to be very careful though because the internal part of the drive is quite sensitive.
A suggested thing to do would be to use a screwdriver instead of bare hands to split open the case. Now do take note that there are no screws on thumb drives but it will be help to snap open the covering. With a screwdriver, it will also be less likely that one will damage the internal part because he will not need to use too much force.
Now after one has already done this, then the next thing to do would be to think of a new outer covering. Now this is where one can get a little bit artistic. He can actually decide on whatever he would want as an outer covering as the material will not really matter.
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.
Now the drill would be used in the event that the covering that he chose does not have a hole where the thumb drive can fit. He would need to get the exact length of the drive and the width as well so that he will know how big the hole will be. Once the hole is already made, then all he has to do would be to just slot the thumb drive 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.
