How to make a resin USB drive | Tutorial

I had a bunch of USB drives lying around that I got at conferences and other events. The casings weren't very nice, so I removed them to turn them into something that looked better. When I saw the circuit boards, I thought of the clock I have that used to belong to my grandfather. I love the look of the exposed circuits, so I decided to try and recreate that with these USB drives. I've never cast epoxy before, so it was a bit of trial and error, but I figured it out in the end. I really like how they turned out. The epoxy is super clear and I love how they light up when they're in use! What you'll need: - old USB drives with the casing removed - something to use as a mould - epoxy resin - digital scales - gloves - sandpaper up to 800 grit - spray lacquer - super glue (to fill any gaps) - exacto knife (to trim the edges) If you make one of your own, I'd love to see it!
