USB Calculator

In this instructable Im goin to show/tell you how to make a calculator with a USB in it. You will need.
Calculator
USB drive
Mini screwdriver
Multi-purpose cement
Knive (I prefer a Victorinox)

Step 1: Step One: Taking Apart the Calculator

Before you can put your striped down USB in your calculator you have to the calculator. Un-screw the screws and pull the cover off!

Step 2: Step Two: Gutting the Calculator

Before you can put your USB drive in the calculator you have to cut down some of the support strips in the calculator. Use your knife and cut down the support strips to make room for your USB so that it doesn't break when there is pressure on it!

Cut a hole to see the LED to know that your USB drive is working!

Step 4: Step Three: Gluing the USB

After you have put the USB drive in to make sure it fits use multi purpose cement

After your cement has dried put the calculator back together! Then your done

What a cool hack! I want someone to make a portable 2 color printer so I can run a tape from my computer calculator program. That way I don't need a separate calculator to print my calculations and go back and forth between the two.

You fitted a USB storage drive to the case of a calculator. You are not powering a calculator from a USB port on a computer. You are not storing data from the calculator on the USB storage drive. You simply have a very large case for a USB storage drive that is also a calculator. Is that correct?
