Seeing all those other wonderful little creatures out there that were at one time or another just plain old store bought USB drives I decided to try my hand at it. This is the result, the printer cartridge USB drive. Made from what I had around my house this project had the delightful total of $0.

Step 1Parts and Other Gizmos

For this project I used the following
============================
1 Used HP color ink cartridge
1 USB drive, I used a 4 GB Sandisk Cruzer
1 roll of electrical tape
1 bottle of Gorilla Glue but most kinds of glue should do
A small knife (if it is dull you are going to need an X-Acto knife also)
A piece of sandpaper
And most importantly paper towels!

Nice use of making your stylish inkjet cartridges USB drive, but i would suggest you not to waste the inkjet cartridges like this, you can sell them to stores that remanufacture inkjet cartridges and either get some money or you can get a remanufactured inkjet cartridges in return.

 You could put this inside a dead printer and store private data on it. ;) No one would ever know it was there.
