Once again, Ken Pillonel defied all Apple’s written rules He created a 3D-printed case and some AirPods transition from Lightning to USB-C. The engineering and robotics student described the new achievement through a video on YouTube. His first case was an iPhone with USB-C.

Fixing a little-known critical bug with AirPods

A very important fact, if you don’t know today, you will learn. AirPods are not designed to be repaired successfully. According to iFixit, AirPods cases are non-repairable, rated 0 out of 10 because they become disposable when they stop working. You cannot open and repair the case like other Apple devices. It gets damaged instantly and there is no way to run the repair service.

Apple AirPods are impossible to repair

In this case, engineer Pillonel was tasked with creating a new case to replace the original AirPods in 3D. In this case, any engineer technician can make repairs and focus on the internal parts to fix it. Logically, when doing this, the new crate is discarded and a new one must be inserted.

Plug in a USB-C port to charge AirPods after new case

In the process, Ken Pillonel switched from the Lightning port to USB-C.. As it stands, you can’t buy replacement ports, so it’s nearly impossible to guarantee an AirPods case will be repaired. Pillonel combining the case factor with the port included USB-C port to make your project a success.

If produced from scratch in this way, the possibility of long-term repair can be guaranteed.. The best thing about this case is that any user with the necessary knowledge can make an exact copy of this project. Pillonel made the port change to 3D print files and files on its website to make it available to everyone.

with this project already considering selling kits to the public so they can make their own modifications and repairs.
