Pure Data (Pd) USB Stick Enclosure

thingiverse

Designed for pd-LAunch, the kick-off of a Los Angeles based patching circle (for patching languages like Pure Data and Max/MSP). We had a series of videos of Miller Puckette lectures we wanted to be able to distribute on USB stick. I designed this enclosure as a special edition version of the stick. The stick is shaped like a message box in Pd, and can be modified with any message text. "bang" is a special Pd message that makes things go. "pd-la" is the name of our patching circle. I designed these on ViaCAD, but exported DXF files of each part. The Corel Draw file has all the parts together, and is what I actually used on the laser cutter. http://pd-la.info/2011/04/pd-la-usb-stick/ Instructions Cut one top, one bottom, and two middle pieces from 1/8" plywood. Blue bottom and middle pieces together with wood glue. Remove one USB stick from its enclosure and pace it inside. Glue top in place. You may want to use a non-conductive adhesive to hold stick in place (silicone adhesive works well, but hot glue would probably work, too). Design is for most common size of usb drive PCB. There are drives that have boards which won't fit. 1/8" acrylic would work as well, of course.
