Charger Protection

I designed, modelled and 3D-printed a protector for my iPad charger prongs — the most vulnerable part of an expensive piece of kit that lives at the bottom of my backpack.

The task was simple: protect the prongs from bending. The subtask was less simple: recreate the 3D model in Blender accurately enough to produce a well-lit product image. After sketching the protector on paper I took measurements, modelled it in Blender, and printed several iterations before landing on a version that fits snugly and actually holds.
