Awesome Lego USB Drive

I think normal USB drives look pretty boring, so I remade a USB drive so that it looks like a Lego brick (pretty awesome).

Disclaimer: I do not take full credit for the design of the Lego drive, and am not the first person to have made it.

Materials:

• USB drive
• Lego bricks (2x2 & 2x4)
• Lego plate (2x2)
• Superglue
• Extra Lego pieces

Tools:

• Craft knife
• Permanent marker

Carefully remove the drive from the casing. Some casings may need to be pried open with a screwdriver. My drive just needed to be pulled out.

Plug the drive into your computer and measure how far in it goes and mark that with a Permanent marker, giving 2mm extra.

Using a craft knife, cut out a hole big enough to fit the drive. Cut out the dots on the inside as well to clear space for the drive. Apologies for the lack of photos.

Insert the drive into the Lego brick up to the marked line. It should fit tightly. Add some glue to fix it in place, making sure to keep the drive straight.

Build a Lego frame as shown above to mark where to cut the hole for the cap. Place the USB Lego drive in and mark the line where it meets the side of the brick. If you need to expand the hole, cut very carefully so as to not make it to large.

If you want to you can close off the bottom of the cap. Start by sanding the edges off of the Lego plate so it can fit in the brick(do not try cutting the edges off, I've already tried that), Then glue it in place.

Now that your drive is complete, you can add to it. Minifigures, animals, computers and so much more!
