Ha. I like the vga part but the part that makes your usb - c connector look like an old fashioned proprietary apple lightening connector is just too much!

Thank you for pointing that out, I didn't notice it lmao
(I think that was a joke, it IS actually a lightning cable)
Yeah I'm not entirely sure, but it WOULD be possible to print a sticker like that
I know, I had to look at it for a while but the side edges in the pictures are rather sharp while a USB connector would have a completely round edge...

It's not the same without two little screws jangling about
I had fuckin bent pins and pins falling out of my vga connector. I had to straighten them and align them. Good times.

Yes officer. This post over here.
No, seriously, why am I offended. This is offensive to me.
Probably because the screws can’t be used!
Just gonna have to 3d print a phone case with the corresponding threads, I guess.
Because that stupid proprietary connector is now illegal in the EU YAAAAY

A power plug, but the three-prong ones like we have in the UK. The two lower prongs would appear to be plugged into the phone, and the top prong would just hover uselessly above the phone.
Bonus points for following the shape of the plug properly and having the cable come out of the bottom of the wall wart, so the phone can never lat down flat while it's charging.
Holy shit, man - who crapped in your doritos?
This is evil. I love it.

That's brilliant. Do you have .stls available for that?
I've seen a few renditions of this one so far:
At first I thought it was great standard connector. It turns out to be non-standard garbage.
You have to buy a million dollar iPod to use it.
I would want an RJ45 charger.
The single screw version looks wrong somehow.
Why two different and incompatible options?
Or, more generally, why can't I ever read some USB spec and get out with less questions than I had in the beginning?
Probably for the same reason why they decided to rename USB 3.0.
I guess they had a liquor cabinet in the room where they held their meeting
Because for some reason, the USBIF has been hit over and over again with the stupid stick ever since USB2 came out.

Terrible ideas:
- Garden hose
- NEMA 10-50 - each "prong" could be a different connector
- CCS
- USB-A
- Quick-connect air coupler
The first one reminds me of this classic

Side note, does anyone know some sort of cable sleeve similar to this that instead grabs onto the device and stabilizes the port?
As much as I like type-C, the ports on my laptop have worn down significantly and aren't always stable
Personally I have the opinion that usb-c should be a connector for mobile devices only and there should be something with the size of a type a or b for stationary stuff. The size makes the connector too flimsy
Yes, but they typically require that the side on the laptop is also prepared for it. Look for example how the usb ports on toughbooks look. They have a screw next to them.

Hey, I'd buy it. Maybe, I mean money is pretty tight.
You inspired at least one print. Thankfully, I have blue filament on hand!
V G A! V G A!
VGA master race.
One of those big old audio jacks. Bonus points for use of metal and leaving a good chunk of it ‘sticking out’.
Print USB-A sleeves with the logo on the wrong side. People will be so surprised and confused when they can't plug the cable in on the first try!
...There's a logo on one side?
Hah! I never noticed the logo thing, I always aim with the metal seam facing down. Rarely fails.
