Thanks to user feedbacks, and update is on its way

It can already be tested. Files are in the beta folder. Here are the changes:

  • much better software, it is now a FreeCAD project since it is a software my values align with (open source, free, strong community)

  • much tighter grip, the adapter should not fall out that easily hopefully

  • smaller chamfer. Designed to put more and more pressure the further you push the plug, the chamfer has been reduce to apply more consistent pressure across the height of the socket.

Je me suis retrouvé avec une rallonge électrique branchée à la grille sans la terre. Cela laissait la terre de ma rallonge non connectée à la terre, et par souci de sécurité, j'ai designé et imprimé cette pièce qui bloque l'utilisation des prises de type E et F (utilisées typiquement pour les appareils à grande puissance).

I had an extension cord that was connected to the grid without being grounded. I didn't want to leave the earth of my extension cord exposed like that so I designed and printed a contraception that blocks the use of a type E or type F plug (generally use for high power equipment).

Features

  • Chamfered design to make a tight fit with the plug

  • Dual side chamfer to avoid rough edges and guide type C plug in more easily
