To safeguard UK molded plugs' earth pins during travels, a protective device can be useful. This design features a hollow structure with minimal material use, offering strength and stiffness. It has two flexible spring levers that hold onto the neutral and live receptacles of the plug. The overall dimensions are approximately 40x40x25mm, with a material volume of about 16.5 cm3. While this conceptual design could be optimized to reduce material usage and 3D printing costs, it aims to protect laptop power adapter plugs, like Dell's model, from broken earth pins.
