EZ Plug

The EZ Plug is meant to help make life easier to charge devices for those who suffer with fine motor function. It is light-weight, portable, and cheap. It is currently tailored to fit Apple chargers (iPhone, MacBook, etc.) and many other phone chargers.

This tool can be used for many individuals who have suffered from an illness which resulted in spasticity of the arm and hand. Many have difficulty with grasping small, thin objects such as wires, when trying to accomplish a task like charging a phone to play music. Our goal is to allow an individual to independently grasp an object using minimal fine motor skills with a simple to use device.

Go onto Tinkercad.com

Create a Log In and begin to design:

1. Use a box shape to make the base

2. Use a box shape to make the walls for the wire to fit in

3. Use a box shape to make “clips” at the end of each wall

4. Place holes on both sides of the wall

1. Save 3D file from Tinkercad to a slicing software program called Simplify 3D; becomes an STL file (The software program slices the 3D file so the 3D printer can print the object correctly)

2. Save onto mini SD disk

3. Plug SD disk into 3D printer

4. Make sure motor is on and heated up on printer

5. Turn on the 3D machine and press the print button

Attach the device to a wire and taadaa! Simple and EZ to use.
