Description

The charging cable always breaks at the same position, just right under the plug. You don't need to replace it, fix it with this easy print! This works for Apple USBC and lightning, as well as for samsung charging cables!

No glue or tape is needed.

///////////////////////////////////////Newest Version: V2/////////////////////////////////////////////

Changes V2:

the two parts are easier to assemble
much more smoother outside

Changes V1:

New Samsung Adapter
adjusted the fit to be thighter
added the .ipt inventor files for editing
assemble instructions

How to repair the cable:

1) Carefully cut off the straggly ends of the broken cable, this will help to fit the Cable repair better.

2) Download the .3mf / .gcode file and print it. Suggested settings are listed above.

3) Make sure the guide rails are printed well. This will help to assemble it more easily.

4) Put the two parts together.

5) Enjoy your repaired cable!

Tipp: If there is too much friction add some lubricant or Vaseline to the guide rails. This will help. Make sure the parts are printed well, maybe work on the edges if needed.

Other Issues:maybe it needs to be printed a few percentage bigger than the original, as my print was to small and broke appart

@jann

thanks for your feedback! I had the same issue once. I fixed it by printing Pla with a slightly increased temperature. if you have problems when assembling the two pieces, try to put the two pieces together on the thinner part of the cable and then move it up to the plug/ head of the charging cable. this worked for me. Sometimes it is difficult to assemble the two parts because apple tend to have different versions of charging cables where the dimensions are a bit different. have a look hat the description for my measurements if you like. thanks for your print profile, this might help other people!

@cpt.balu

Replying to @jann :

Thank you very much for your answer :-) Yes, maybe they have slightly different sizes. The bigger Version worked out great. I will probably test a flexible one later on :-) Anyway, many thanks for this great model!

Funcionou bem no meu cabo, notei que ele ficou um pouco solto no fim da peça.

Little bit small, but easy to adjust, tiny print, works well

Thanks for your feedback. Will check it, as to the original model, it is already 4% bigger.
