Standard USB dongle housing?

This Bud case is pretty big.

Cheers

That looks pretty good... 19mm x 45mm PCB.

Thanks! The distie search engines don't do very well on enclosures.

Just make sure it's not too big that it interferes with adjacent USB sockets., Odd stuff like this does not show up in searches. I had remembered this dohicky, but forgot who made it. I just look at the top mfg's that make plastic cases. Pactec, Hammond, Bud. then there a like 3 more that I can't recall. You can also try those show gift markerters that make silk screened usb sticks. They might have some leads.

Would you sell a product based on a case from a 3D printer ??

They are nice toys, but not ready for including into a product.

Absolutely. It depends on the application. Already a lot of stuff is sold made with 3D printer, for example you can order dolls made to your own specs. Gears and parts of the 3D printer are made with a 3D printer too. There is absolutely no reason why you cannot make something as simple and small as a USB stick case with a 3D printer, and it likely will last many years, more then it takes for that sort of stick to become obsolete.

small as a USB stick case

that sort of stick

Which 3D printer are you referring to ?

The ones available in Colorado, produces a product that is brittle and looks sloppy.

Yes, some day 3D printer material will look and feel like a real product.

But, not with what I've seen so far.

Now, building a prototype that can be handled before injected molding is done, I can agree with.

The cost for one molded part is huge. The cost of 100s or 1000s of 3D printed parts is also huge.

Where will the cross over be ??

Too crappy and too expensive, but fine for a prototype where strength isn't too important and appearance can be hand tweaked.

How about buying up a lot of ultra cheap say 128MB sticks? Those are around but do not normally sell due to small memory size.

You are obviously not working in the industry.

They work to quite tight tolerances and can obtain good surface quality finish, if needed.

We printed a cad model of a test jig for a device and mounted the connectors on it and wired it up. works great, and nobody had to be paid a tooling cost, and now we have 5 of them, and they are even light enough to mount onto the device in build, and get sent to test already in the fixture.

I have said it before. It is not just your piss poor grammar that exposes you as a know nothing dolt.

You are an idiot.

Thank you for that endorsement.

Now how about a product name, so I can see for myself.

Until I see it, its still a toy.

Ok, now that your done, how about a real 3D product ?

I may be an idiot, but you are a liar.
