Compact Lego USB stick

This design is compact, and differs from the classic Hampton by having the same connective functionality on both sides. If you're lucky with the dimensions of the USB stick as it's also rather easy.

Parts needed:
A standard USB storage stick
A couple of pieces of Lego 3 x 16 x 48^*mm
*min, or 1 piece 3 x 16 x 96 mm

And...
A sharp craft-knife
Some good strong glue
Sandpaper

Step 1 Dismantle USB stick

Make sure you don't have any data on the stick that you can't afford to lose, but they're pretty tough.

Each design will come apart in it's own way, but a sharp knife is all you'll usually need.

very good 'able. Much better-looking than any of the other Lego USB ones. Wish i had seen this one before I made mine...

[lemonie]

Thanks. I like the classic Hampton, but as "tech" I wanted "small".

[emperos]

L

I love the one with the lego guy on it :D 

[sharlston]

great ible

[lemonie]

If you know what you're doing with knives it's pretty quick & easy - go for it.

[sharlston]

ive settled for a more industrial look ive got some 3/4 nuts so ill put them round the usb

itle probally be bullet proof when finished

[lemonie]

Sounds good, I'd like to see that.

[tanis9319]

you need a cap for it youll think of some thing

[lemonie]

I've never found a cap to be necessary. The other one still works fine.

 another job well done

[lemonie]

If you don't spend a lot of time on perfection, you can knock these up pretty easily. I dislike the elaborate hacking I've seen on others. And I always mod these with extra-bits - that's the beauty of a Lego system...

[ChrysN]

I really like the one with the little lego man.

[lemonie]

They're easy enough to modify, though I suppose that's obvious. L

[fwjs28]

that is a-freaking-mahzing!...6/5

[lemonie]

Thanks, did you show your amazement with a rating or are you still reeling from that? L

[fwjs28]

at the time, Opera was being finicky and not allowing me to rate..so ill just say i was reeling of amazement

[lemonie]

OK, You find Opera to be a good browser (I don't know but I hear good things)? L

[fwjs28]

yes, opera is a great browser, but it has occasional problems with rendering websites..i like..no love, the new opera 10 with the visual tabs and email client..infact there is a neat little element called panels on the sidebar, which can be anything from favorites, to history, to mini websites, which work well with mobile sites like aim express, m.myspace.com and m.youtube.com/..great browser, you should check it out

[lemonie]

Yes I really should install that thing I downloaded months ago....

[fwjs28]

mhm...

[AndyGadget]

Hmmm Neat. I've been planning on doing something with a bare USB stick and I just may be raiding the sons' lego box.

[cowscankill]

Best lego usb EVER! Good job!

[lemonie]

Thanks. L
