Power supply case - ASUS X550J

thingiverse

I'm just going to toss this idea out there, see if it sparks anything in you. My laptop charger decided to give up the ghost, and instead of buying a new one I figured why not try fixing it? After all, what's the worst that could happen? As it turned out, the issue was a loose solder joint, which I managed to fix with ease. However, these power supply shells are incredibly durable - it took some serious elbow grease (and a Dremel) to remove the outer casing, rendering it useless. But here's where things got interesting: thanks to my trusty 3D printer, I was able to whip up a new shell in no time. And the best part? I can customize it to my heart's content! As a fluid mechanicist by trade, I decided to add a little something extra - a Von Karman vortex street design that really makes this charger stand out. I'm thrilled with how it turned out, and I hope you find yourself inspired by this little DIY project of mine.
