It all started when I faced a repeated problem I had back in Aug 2013. I told myself: "Why do I need to keep changing my MagSafe Power Adapter? It just won't last due to fraying of the cable end". It got to be a solution.

Then, I started to do some finding and sketches to solve this problem. Turns out, I realised that I am not alone. At the beginning, I was posting at MakerBot community website - Thingiverse. Hopping to share some of my finding and ideas. With my first two initial designs. I was quickly get acknowledged and that inspire me to explore further.

Have you ever encountered your MagSafe power adapter for the MacBook blown away suddenly, and you have to buy another one? That will cost you US$79. Have you noticed that the joining part of the adapter and the cable have a kink in it?
