USB PEZ (or how to Fido your candy dispenser).
Good morning peeps.

As my second Instructable I thought it might be cool to do a little tweak to make our usb key a bit more funny looking. Such as embedding it in a PEZ. Well you can imagine how simple this Instructable will be. But I guess it will be nice for kids and an enjoyable moment for the other.
It will take about 45 minutes to do it. Ok let's go. What do we need ?

We need :

1. a PEZ
2. An old or at least a not too expensive USB key.
3. A little screwdriver.
4. A little metal file or a cutter blade.
5. Some glue gun or some resin (what you'll have at hand)
6. Some expert hands such as Dad or the big guy eating all your PEZ and called brother.

Some PEZ heads are hard to carve and will not fit any USB stuff within. So check it before to buy, if you need to buy it. Cost of this : Almost nothing if you have a spare USB key but you can buy them now for 7$ or so. Of course if you have to buy a new one just save the old key for this Instructable.

Step 1Dismantle the PEZ and the USB key.

Dismantle the PEZ and the USB key.
You will figure out easily how to dismantle your PEZ.

But anyway let's prepare how it might be done. The goal is to be sure that nothing will be spoiled during the process. Making interventions on general public products is always a bit risky...

So gather a tiny screwdriver and let's start by the easier part. Dismantling the USB key.
I also think that you can use a hair dryer to make the plastic casing far more easy to split, you see.
Don't get to hot right. You should be able to handle it without any problem.

If I wasn't afraid of ruining my USB drive or having it get damaged after the mod, I'd totally give this a try. Good 'ible!

USB drives are extremely cheap. get a 128mb one, big enough for docs at least and totally expendable

I'd say I fear them both equally as they both seem very possible to me.
