USB Flash Drive Casing

thingiverse

Rather than breaking the bank for high-capacity flash drives, you can find bare circuit boards and heads at a fraction of the cost from retailers. Alibaba offers bare high-capacity flash drives for a mere fraction of their retail price. I purchased several 256G 3.0 drives for $20usd each. Then simply print these files for an easy snap-together finished memory stick. Note: There are two files - one for half and the other for half, with led light on the back. If you have a board with an LED light on the back, use the file labeled "with-light". After printing, I inserted clear filament like PETG through the hole with some glue and trimmed off the excess. The two halves snap together fairly securely, but can be pulled apart easily with your fingernails or a knife. After dry testing the fit, I recommend carefully applying a light layer of superglue to the outside perimeter and snapping them together for a sealed fit. Print settings: I made drives using both NylonX and ABS materials. I used a 0.4 mm nozzle and 0.18 layer heights. No support is required if printing with the outsides face down.
