MagSafe Adapter Key Ring: 3D Printing and the Power of Connecting Things to Things
Some of the best uses of 3D printing is the ability to connect things to things, whether it is your a plant to your bike, your GoPro camera to your drone or your Raspberry Pi case to your Lego castle.
The MagSafe Adapter Key Ring by jbobrow makes sure you do not lose the Magsafe Adapter for the new MacBook and connects it to your keyring 3D Printed in Stainless Steel using the adapters internal magnet. Clever.
What other products could be designed to be 3D printed in Stainless Steel to use magnets embedded in existing products?

Genius…
This adapter holds your Apple “MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Adapter” snugly and hooks to your power adapter’s cord. For that power adapter that is used to serve both old and new Macs!

Design for iPhone 5 Contest Update : Download Files for 3D Printing
We announced the contest to win $500 worth of Shapeways 3D Printing last week and have already seen a few designs for the iPhone 5 trickle in but we wanted to make it a little easier for you with a few 3D files to download that might help.
We have used the specifications provided by Apple to 3D model a dummy iPhone 5 suitable for 3D Printing in Nylon and one for Full Color 3D Printing, along with a basic case for the iPhone 5 and a basic bumper.
Please note we are waiting for the 3D Prints to come back and of course we have not yet tested them on an iPhone 5 yet…..
You can download the STL files to modify in your 3D software of choice as long as it supports STL import, we have also uploaded the case to TinkerCad along with the bumper and the dummy iPhone 5 so you can start customizing the design even if you do not have any 3D CAD skills, yet…
