This is a Jig to help you fix the FlexGate issue on Macbook Pro version 2016 and 2017.
The new cable will be 4mm longer and there is a line to help with the cut at the right lenght.
It is highly inspired from https://www.clinicadelamanzana.com/flexgatefix, so if you use this model to make money, better buy one from this guy.
I printed it in PLA with 0.1mm, 10% infill, organic suports.
Part list I bought for the repair:
- Flex cable: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005005371312769.html
- UV curable solder mask: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005005972089606.html
- UV light: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005001989410229.html
- Solder flux: https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005004301106086.html
- Copper lacquer wire 0.1mm: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005005443172919.html
Warning: The jig can melt around the cable if you heat it to long with the solder iron. It happend to me and I used a hot air iron solder at 190°C to take it off.
