The "Wrench" USB Drive Case - Engineering Version

When my standard flash drive case broke, I decided to replace it with something that reflects my profession. This is a body designed in the shape of a combination wrench (open-end and Box-end). It’s a rugged, functional "tool" for carrying my engineering data.

To ensure a perfect "press-fit" for the storage drive, I used an industrial 3D scanner to capture the exact geometry of the USB PCB. This allowed me to design internal mounting seats with zero tolerance for rattling.

Printer: QIDI Q2 + QIDI Box.

I used two colors of black and red ASA filament from Qidi Tech. The high-contrast red interior mimics the look of professional-grade workshop tools.

To achieve a professional, injection-molded look, I plan to perform acetone vapor smoothing. This will chemically fuse the layers of the Red and Black ASA, providing a high-gloss finish and increasing the overall structural integrity of the "wrench".
