Macbook Magsafe Power Adapter Fix

thingiverse

This is designed to secure the end of a MacBook Magsafe Power Cord in place. My wife had one that started coming loose at the end, so I created this solution. The two pieces fit over the outside of the cord to keep it steady and prevent further bending, which can ultimately cause the cord to fail completely. To hold them together, I simply used electrical tape, and it seems to be working effectively so far. If you have access to heat-shrink tubing with a diameter of about 0.32 inches (8.13 mm), that would provide an even better seal by locking the two pieces firmly in place. As for me, I'd much rather fix this problem than spend $70 on a replacement cord, only to potentially face the same issue down the line due to the design's flaws. In my opinion, Apple might not be too concerned about this issue since it would create more business for them when their products inevitably fail.
