Make Your Own USB Adapters

I feel like I can't ever find the right wire for the device I am using. I have collected a few adapters and chargers, but they weren't universal enough for my needs. I decided to modify and combine them to make a more complete set of adapters.

Step 1: Materials

I can't stand carrying a ton of wires, but its nearly impossible to find a set of adapters that have everything you need. I decided to take pieces of a few different adapter kits and combine them into one kit.

I still needed a few more things, so I tore apart a couple old computers and used the parts to make some new adapters that you can't buy.

can you make one that has one end like a micro sd?

It is also important to see the version of the USB splitter. i.e USB 1.0 or 2.0 or 3.0. Higher the version greater the speed. But it should match with the USB used in the computer or the laptop and the other USB device.
I guess USB splitters can also be used as USB extension cables( To connect USB devices present at a greater distance from the computer)

Ask someone who flies model airplanes and they will tell you that when the flight pack measures 4.8v (ni-cad) it is DEAD, and when fully charged it is 5.5 volts

Very nice, I like the use of Sugru to keep it all together. Maybe if you made more you could put textures on the Sugru and not leave the fingerprint, thats my problem with my sugru'd things

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I didn't think to use Sugru, I think that gives you more working time before it sets up. This was all made with epoxy putty, you can find it in the plumbing section at the hardware store. Epoxy putty cures and hardens like a rock or steel and it only gives you about 2 minutes of working time before it gets too hard to shape it.
