UK Ground plug replacement

thingiverse

This is a UK plug adapter designed to fit seamlessly over existing ones. Several of my plugs feature plastic ground pins, a requirement by law for added safety, but unfortunately, some have been damaged beyond repair after being dropped. Despite attempts to salvage them with glue, the broken pieces ultimately snap off due to insufficient surface area. This DIY solution aims to rectify the issue. To achieve better strength in the pin and prevent it from snapping easily, print this design horizontally so that the pin is aligned properly. Using ABS as the printing material will also enhance durability. Once printed, simply slide the holes over the remaining useful pins and secure them with glue. With this fix in place, you'll be able to use your adapter without any further issues.
