Portable Usb Stick Holder
Hello! I made this to store my flash drives in a way that I could just throw it in my back pack and not have to worry about them becoming smashed or buried under everything else.
Supplies
The supplies you need for this are:
1. 3dprinter
2. TinkerCad - to design the parts
3. Cardboard, super glue, and a pencil (optional, to make the lid)
Make the Holder Part and the Usb Connecter Sized Holes.
Step 1: Make a hole 14mm tall by 6mm by 12.5mm. Duplicate it until you have the desired amount of usb sticks.
Step 2: Raise the holes 4.5mm and space them out by 10mm.
Step 3: Make a rectangle 10mm longer on each side than the space used by the usb ports, then 25mm wide and 17mm tall.
Step 4: Center the rectangle with the middle usb hole.
Make the Tray
Step 1: Make a rectangle hole 10mm less long than the usb holder part, 25mm tall and 78mm wide. Raise it 5mm.
Step 2: Make a rectangle the same length as the usb holder part, 25mm tall, and 85mm wide.
Step 3: Use the align tool to align the rectangle and hole like I did in the picture. Then group them.
