Power extension for T-bao Tbook R8

thingiverse

I recently ordered an affordable Tbao Tbook R8 laptop from Gearbest as a backup notebook. It turned out to be surprisingly good considering its price point. Nonetheless, one issue really got on my nerves. The charging cable was only about 1 meter long - way too short to plug in while using it, even if you have a socket right under your desk. Also, the charger needed an adapter for using it on EUR sockets. There was an adapter included with the notebook but it kept falling off all the time. So I decided to add an extension to the adapter with the correct kind of plug and sufficient length for normal everyday use. I soldered a power cord to the adapter and designed this protective enclosure around it. Please note that if you reside in the US or another country where this type of plug is used as standard, it would probably make more sense to simply purchase a regular extension cord. However, extension cords that would fit this adapter are not commonly available in Europe.
