Summary

This is a super quick and easy print and a great gift idea.

What is it?

Somehow the iphone users around me are always at critical battery levels and looking for a charge. This is a little survival tool that will allow them to always carry a backup lightning cable with them as a keychain. You'll need to add a 6" to 12" cable, and a keychain ring to complete the item.
The STL is simply a tiny keychain cap that will securely hold a Lightning to USB cable. It has tiny little nubs inside the cap that ensure the cable will not slide out too easily.

Steps to Make:

  1. Print it - My recommended settings are: no supports, with 0.1 to 0.2 layers, 3 shells and 20% infill
  2. Buy Lightning to USB cables (8 inch works best for this). I suggest a 3 or 5 pack for the best value. They are typically about $10 for a 5 pack. Many colors and options exist on Amazon (and other sites) here are a few:
