MacBook Air Magsafe Lock 2013

thingiverse

This is a tough version of a clip to hold your Magsafe 2 power adapter into your MacBook Air. *Update: I refined it and rounded all the edges, Magsafe #1 fits a little better and is smoother. Somehow my MacBook blew a diode and won't run on battery at all anymore. So every time i bump the cord it dies! Super Frustrating. I tried other ones that had only the little arm to reach in and catch the lip by the monitor, but it would still get knocked out. So I designed my own version. It has a hook to keep it from getting pulled out and it has a USB insert that inserts into the adjacent USB port. it fits the Magsafe snug, and you have to really try to bump it loose accidentally. So if you're like me and have a MacBook that won't run on battery. Or just don't like how easily the Magsafe comes off, then this is the clip for you! You'll likely need to print it with support under the USB insert. Enable support roof for a cleaner removal. Make sure you have good layer adhesion so the little nub doesn't break off the clip. More heat, or increasing the wall width can help put a little more squish on the layers. Let me know how it works for you and if I need to tweak it further. I really appreciate any feedback. I know it works for me but perhaps not everyone else. Specifically it fits Model A1466, I don't know which other models it fits.
