Description

Most people that have had an Apple Power Book for some years probably know that the power supply have a weak spot near the connector that plugs into the computer. The cable simply opens up and shows exposed wires which isn't so good.

I had a few of those power supplies, that was in really bad condition, so I decided to open up the connector to see if I could fix it. The connector isn't really designed to be opened up, to I had to cut it upen with an exacto knife and using a little electronics side cutter, but I managed to open it up without breaking the inner case and the electronics inside.

The connector has a little PCB and some LEDs, so be careful when cutting.

Since the outer casing and the piece that is glued to the cable was ruined in the process, I decided to print a new set of those.

I opted for white PLA for the outer cover and soft grey PLA for the strain relief, but that could as well be regular PLA, it's not really using the flex properties of the material.
