The VGA plug in OP is part of a series and I bought all three, including the SCSI one (which is objectively the best one)

I'm pretty sure you can just buy those ends and slap em on

It's just plastic molding around the connector.

Edit: it would probably help keep the connections stable by minimizing wiggle. Know how in old phones you've sometimes gotta get that plugged in juuuust right? I'd expect this to help prevent that.

In my experience, that generally means you just need to clean the pocket lint out of the USB port.

Or just that Micro-B was a shit-stain of a connector that depended on the world's tiniest springs exhibiting no wear.

Mini-B was actually pretty solid.

Problem is how to fit it through the plug. You can’t just buy an old port and do this without splitting it open entirely

I'd imagine they would come like this and you just clip it on/glue the plastic together.

Just find someone with a printer, or checkout your library if they have one to use. The original design that was made was very stupid and required soldering and whatnot..

Ah ok. Forgive my ignorance, but some of the most reliable and inexpensive printer manufacturers are Prusa (Czech Republic) and Bambu (China). Do they not ship to Egypt?

USB C has a specification for screw locking, so this can happen in the future if it becomes a common practice.

This specification in conjunction with the USB Type-C Cable and Connector Specification define the following to provide standardized screw locking mechanisms for the USB Type-C plug:

What traumatic childhood event possesed you to do this to an innocent VGA plug?

Honestly, sometimes would be nice to have it while phone is charging and I want to use it.
