small side project from two weeks ago: a microSD "flash memory necklace".

This was the first time I tried the assembly service of the ubiquitous chinese budget PCB company - designed in an hour on a friday afternoon after a conversation with a colleague, ordered the same day and just a week later I had 50pcs in my hand. It's insane.

@s_ol That's amazing, but some of the card housings look not exactly brand new? Is that expected?

@teleclimber yeah there was some glue residue on one or two of them. It's a little odd but came off easily enough 🤷

@s_ol behold the wearable sdcard slingshot!

@s_ol that’s cool, but what does it do when you stick in the card?

@masukomi
nothing, it just holds it!

there's a footprint for headers on the back to use it as a microSD breakout in a pinch but that's not its "purpose". It would be cool to have one work as microSD USB reader in the future perhaps.
