During my homeoffice phase one of my USB-Sticks brock - not a big thing I usually would simply go to a store an buy a new one - especially since this was a very cheap noname USB-Stick. But on the other hand it really anoyed me - there was only a little bit of plastick inside the housing that broke that rendered the stick basically useless because whenever you tried to plug it in it completely dissapeared inside.

Since I had some files on the stick I really needed, I removed the housing and used it for a few days without it - which worked perfectly fine - but felt really brittle and I didn't like pulling directly on the circuit board.

After a few days feeling a little bit angry about how cheapt the plastick enclosure was made and that it was obviously designed as a throw-away product, I decided to repair instead of replacing it and turn it into something like this

I got my Synth.BT package from the kickstarter I participated a while ago on monday - so yesterday I soldered, cut and sanded my passive modular helper thingies and printed the official box for them :-)

Can't wait to use them in a Patch - so music is in the making ;-)

I created a box holding up to 5 rolls of solder, to help me mitigate the entropy on my workbench.

I uploaded the desings to thingiverse - but it seems to be really slow currently (probably due to the current stay at home situation)

so I also uploaded the files to my server and you can download the openscad file here or the exported stl file here.
