Meet another creation of Russian home brew modders. Now it’s mini USB flash drive modded to look like steam punk creations. It has moving parts that can be played with too.
To make it author had to visit the local rag fair and get some decent old-style clock gears and parts of old Soviet consumer electronic because it’s also full of some amazingly looking parts.
Also he paid a visit to a department store and got some brass pipe.
The flash drive had to be fully functional with a connector rolling in and out by twisting the outer gear.
You can also get the high quality wallpaper with this thing:

FIRST!@!!!
seems like a waste of time to me
wow, that is BEAUTIFUL!
i wish they could start selling them online
the rough surface works wonders.
steampunk is gay
Drunk Russians using computers powered by vodka.
Nice mod! It seems to be inspired in some Kin-dza-dza bizarre gadget.
Imagination of the Russian drunks is wild.
Have you got smth new about it?
Nifty little thing. The guy clearly knows what he is doing, and is good at his work!
department store to buy brass pipe? Didn’t know debenhams sold it
That’s a fine example of Russian genius for you.
astoundingly
Rare to find a master craftsman
I want one!!!
This is what blue Peter should have been.
To all you who criticise, how small you sound, how envious, and how laughable. look at it – there is nothing to criticise. Someone has made something beautiful, and this you cannot handle, you want to tear it apart because it nestles like a splinter in your comfortable world of sordid mediocrity. someone has learned to fly, and you are too scared, fear turns inward to hate and malice. throw it all away before it eats you.
great! amazing! best steampunk mod for USB…left-hander that grounded flea (how in tale)
eversince I saw first usb drive from russian site,i was amazed and inpsired.the guy is obviously a craftsman who knows what hes doing and should be recognised,I agree with BoDing,there is a mammoth amount of work to pull together all the bits and create it.well done from N.Z.
I love the look, very creative, obviously you’re a good craftsman and artist.
But I’m worried about the weight of the decorations and the conductivity of the parts touching the flash drive connector.
I know those connectors are pretty easy to snap off.
Also, how easy is it to replace just the flash drive, if you want to upgrade or swap them out (say, if the connector snaps)?
Like every other steampunk item. S-T-U-P-I-D!!!!!
Awesomeness!!!!!
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.
Nice! It took me a moment to realize that it has a functional connector cover. Your meticulous work has captured the style well…
