Flexgate jig for Macbook Pro

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:

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.
