In addition to being used as decorations, what else can a broken old camera (especially a film camera) be used for? The answer is that it can be turned into a beautiful charging socket for an iPhone (or other smartphones) through DIY! The steps are not too complicated. With a little modification, you can have a personalized mobile phone socket!
Preparatory tools
1) Preparation tools: an old camera, iPhone power cord, small electric drill with bit, all-purpose glue, iron file; pay attention to choose plastic camera if possible, because it is difficult to drill through the metal body.
Determine the direction of the power cord
2) Determine the direction of the power cord. If it is a plastic camera, it is easy to handle. If it is a metal camera, you need to carefully find the plastic part to drill.
Make a small hole in the top of the machine
3) Cut a small hole on the top of the machine. Note: Never make big holes in one go. Small is better than big! Because once it is too big, it will be difficult to repair. Choose a thinner drill bit.
Then make an additional drill hole next to the same hole, because the two drill holes are connected
4) Then make an additional drill hole slightly next to the same hole. Because the two drill holes are connected, it will become an oval shape, so it is suitable for the iPhone power cord plug.
Use an iron file to slowly grind the drilled hole to an appropriate size.
5) Use an iron file to slowly grind the drill hole to an appropriate size.
Large enough to allow the plug to pass
6) Grind it from the inside as well until it is just big enough for the plug to pass through.
Fixed
7) After the plug is passed, seal it with universal glue!
Drill a hole at the exit
8) Also drill a hole at the planned exit location.
This is what it will look like after completion
This is what it will look like when finished!
Congratulations, you have a unique charging socket!
Of course, in addition to cameras, you can also use various things to make sockets. Pay attention to what plastic/wooden things you have around you, but don’t modify other people’s objects.
