Mini USB - 1:1 Diagram Template

[Super-Shiny]

Anyone know of a 1:1 Mini USB Diagram template, need it to make a cut-out on some plastic.

Ask Soulvaperbaby over the road ... Worst he can say is no


Edit... why not draw around one ?

Or, with some black marker, "paint" the connector and press it onto the object (your casing) or a piece of paper

When I am working in wood Super-Shiny I always scribe a line with a sharp pointed craft knife rather than mark with a pencil as this gives a distinct mark to cut, chisel or plane to, so I would suggest carefully scribing around the mini usb connector with a craft knife.

Yep that's what i just done, used a crafting knife and cut around the USB cable connector head to get my drawing, gonna be funny when i have to make that hole into the plastic cover though

Slow and steady wins the race mate  ...  drill a couple of small holes within the outline and then micro file to the scribe line, checking all the time with the mini usb connector  ... easy peasey to a man with ocd of your calibre

Your dremel flamethrower has heated blade, will slice it like butter but practice on old piece of plastic first
cut a little smaller and file slowly to right size

Gonna start in the center of the cutout on a very slow speed due to plastic melting with the Dremel and use this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131014911471?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

And then fine finish it with needle files

Sound good to me mate  ... as fiddles has said, practice on a spare piece of plastic so that you get a feel for how easy the plastic cuts and files or melts.

wasn't the box you had for your mod a metal one?
I've got numerous abs/plastic boxes here that all but melted when I was drilling holes in them

[robby]

Remember these?

Remember them..........I still use when I have a delicate job needs doing.

I usually drill two 2.5mm holes next to each other and then file to fit.
If I have several to do then I'll usually drill one hole in each on the pillar drill and then cut them all out on the scrollsaw.
