Eternal flash drive enclosure


There are cases when during operation the flash drive case does not stand up and collapses (small children do an excellent job of disassembling).

On a kickstarter, a similar project was approved and raised the necessary amount of money for its implementation.

We will not collect money and post applications, we will try to independently implement a similar project.

Suddenly something is not clear, then watch the video:


To make the eternal case, we need:
-titanium BT1-0
M18 * 1.5
tap M18 * 1.5
milling cutter HSS d 14.5
-machine

1. We make and prepare the blank. The total length of the workpiece is 64mm.



2. Cut the blank 38mm long. From this part we will make the lower part of the flash drive case.



3. Make a hole with a diameter of 14.5mm


4. We prepare a platform for cutting external threads using a die M18 * 1.5



5. The lower part of the flash drive almost ready looks like this (it remains only to polish).


6. Prepare the top of the flash drive (cap).

7. Make a selection inside the cap.


8. Chamfer the outside and prepare a place for the ring.


9. Cut the thread in the cap using a tap M18 * 1.5.


10. Make a hole for the ring.


11. The housing is ready.


12. In my case, we take an 8GB flash drive.


13. Remove from the full-time housing.


14. We put in heat shrink.


15. Then we put the prepared flash drive into the titanium case. Fill with hot glue (it will be easier to remove the flash drive if it fails). Some people fill it with epoxy, it's 100% forever (except to burn it out).

16. Check for strength using a car.


17. The weight of the finished product was 50 grams.
