This is a small bracket you can snap a standard Apple-brand USB charger into. Add it to existing enclosures for things you might need to power by USB, like [this nightlight](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1290362) I designed for example. Now you have an appliance you can power and attach to the wall in any home in North America (or Japan). Ideas include: a Raspberry Pi Zero, an Arduino, an [ESP8266 type chip](https://www.adafruit.com/products/2471), pretty much anything that you can run on 5v/1amp. The world's your oyster, etc.
It was hard to find a balance between keeping the plug secure, and not putting too much stress on the PLA when you snap it in. I found the best solution was to keep it a bit looser for durability, but add a notch so that you could use a ny-tie to really secure things if your project demanded it.
I designed this in Blender, using lots of modifiers, so if you wish to modify this general idea to fit whatever USB power supply you prefer it should be prett
