Custom Mechanical Pencil Lead Container USB

Hello. Today i will beshowing you how to make a USB out of a old USB and a lead container for mechanical pencils.

You will need:

Epoxy or glue

Mid sized USB

Sand paper

Skewer

and most importantly, The lead container

Step 1: Prep

1st remove the USB from the case, CAREFULLY. I recommend using a pair of needle nose pliers and wire cutters, tho it can be done with any number of tools.

Use wire cutters or a hacksaw to cut off the end of the container. then use sand paper to smooth the edge. If prefered, you can round edges off to make it smoother.

Step 2: Assembly.

Put the circut board in to the container to make sure it fits. Then use epoxy or glue to glue the board in.

Wait until the Epoxy/Glue is dry, any test to make sure the USB stays in when you take it out of a computer. If not, wait longer.

Step 3: Personalizaton

Now you can paint the thumb drive. Use painter's tape to mark off the plug, or put a cap on it. Then spraypaint it in your desired color.

Step 4: YAY!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!! You made a USB drive out of a mechanical pencil lead container. Yippie!!!!!
