tad 2011-09: let’s call it kirigami

i may not have another thing after a busy day today, so here’s my contingent thing (not 30 minutes of work, but it’s what i’ve got right now and maybe all day) … the battery-powered charger i made yesterday fits neatly into this altoids box, but you have to cut out the bottom end for the usb connector to fit through. i traced out the shape of the connector, added space to clear the lid and used some metal cutters (much bigger than i needed, but it was all that was around the house) to cut it and some pliers to bend it in place. in the process of seeing if it would fit, i accidentally broke the connecting leads for the battery, so i will need to resolder that later. meanwhile, tada!
