DIY: Keychain Made of Dice and USB Drive
These days it’s popular to take just about any house hold item, a USB flash drive, and mill out a space to make a USB mod case. Today’s post is no exception. Using just two dice and a mini USB, in four easy steps you can make a USB dice key-chain.
Step 1: Get your items. Dice, USB, Dremel, blue or epoxy and a file.
Step 2:Â After some measurements, mill out the hold where the USB will be inserted.
Step 3: Repeat step 2 for the second die as this will be your cap. You also need to drill a hole on a dice side for the lanyard which will attached to your key-chain
Step 4: Epoxy the USB drive into the base die, and attached the lanyard to the cap die. Now you’ve got a USB dice key-chain.
You might want to take things a step further and carve a groove into both pieces so you can tie the two dice together so they don’t fall apart in your pocket.
Again, this is a great example of taking any house hold item and turning it into a modified USB flash drive. Granted this wont stand up to the test of time like the retail version of this USB key, but it’s a fun project to kill some time.
