My old MacBook charger kept falling whenever I moved, so I designed this - eviltoast

I’m new to 3D printing and CAD, it’s not the best looking, I was going for fast printing. I borrowed a couple of files from the internet to get the dimensions of the charger and the thunderbolt.

    Lying down would be hard to print due to the hollow cavity where the charger goes. You could split it into two separate sections and then glue it together. Easier solution is to model or drill a 2mm hole through the part and glue a piece of filament in place to give it some strength.

      Tree supports and careful use of an exacto knife could also make it work. Post processing can be a bit much sometimes, but it doesn’t have to be the enemy either.
