3d Print Custom Covers for Pendrive

Hi All,

Today I will share, how to customize your USB flash drive or Pendrive with super cool cases

• Chip version - Pen drive
• Tinkercad
• 3D printer
• Imagination

• To make a custom case,
  • we need a simple image like batman logo or ghost etc
  • or a STL file like among us or lego
• If you have decided to use simple Image
  • Download a black and white image from google (best results with black and white)
  • Using any jpg to SVG convertor, convert into svg (eg: https://www.pngtosvg.com/)
• Alternatively, you can download STL model from Thingiverse or cult3d or many other sites

• Tinkercad is a simple online 3D modelling tool
  • Import your model or Image in it. I will use an image
  • Import the attached SVG into Tinkercad
  • Adjust the dimensions to 25x 40 x 5 mm
  • Add two holes for eyes
  • Based on the USB drive dimensions make another hole
  • I am showing the placement of this hole by making the ghost also a hole (works like x-ray)
  • Now create a duplicate and invert by 180 degrees
  • Using holes cut the two models into upper body and lower body
• We have our 3d model ready to print

• Download the STL file from here
  • Resolution : 0.2mm
  • Support: Tree (Cura)
  • Raft: No
  • Print time: less than 1 hr
  • Once printed, superglue the USB drive an we are done

• Follow the same steps as the Ghost image to make the batman logo Pendrive case
• Download the STL file from here
  • Resolution : 0.2mm
  • Support: Tree (Cura)
  • Raft: No
  • Print time: less than 1 hr
  • Once printed, superglue the USB drive and we are done

• An existing 3d model was imported in tinkercad
