AlienwareM18 Power Plug Adapter

thingiverse

My Alienware Laptop has an issue with the plug falling out with very small movements. So, I needed a solution to keep the laptop plugged in a reasonable amount, but not so hard that it wont unplug if there is a real danger. So, I engineered this. Its an adapter that uses the bottom risers and the gap between the screen and back to hold it on. I tried to make sure it wouldn't push on the screen much if you tilt it back, but it will no longer reach the absolute limit it had before. This sacrifices around 5 degrees of movement, so now you have been warned. I will not be responsible for anyone breaking their screens because they pushed it against this adapter. That said, it shouldn't increase your risk much at all. As for printing, its fairly straight forward. I used PETG for its extra flexibility properties and strength. But I expect PLA, ASA, ABS, and other materials should work. Don't use carbon fiber, or ultra stiff filaments. If you need to, use the stiffer version already provided. When you are ready to insert the cord, it is slightly tight, so you will need to pull it back to take up any gap. Edit: Added a 3rd version that has a cord tension relief area to try at least in some small way to relieve the pressure on the end of the tool.
