Thanks Luke for the title suggestion
The last few days have been amazing to see so many people sending back their ‘first hacks’ – we’re so stoked that so many people are getting stuck into their packs as soon as they get them, and some of them are damn clever as well. Here are a few first hack beauties !
Aaron: “My iMac’s in a setup where it’s nearly impossible to look behind it to access the ports when I need to plug something in and due to it’s slightly unusual placement it’s not very easy to rotate either. So I tried something out with my first pack of Sugru to add ‘braille’ coded bumps over the ports so I can tell which is which purely by touch.”

Hamish: “My iPhone’s headphones’ rubber coating was starting to come off, and since I recognised from past experience that the jack was also about to go, while reinforcing both of these I also added a piece of double-sided Velcro so I’d have an integrated cable-tie!”

Matthew and Luke both repaired their laptops – I love how two completely separate people did the same repair and both chose orange !!
Luke also repaired his adaptor: “one of the handy flippy-out ear tabs on the mains adaptor, which allow you to coil the cable neatly, snapped off a while ago, leaving me to wrap the cord around the body of the adaptor – which is a pain. So I’ve moulded a new ear into the space left by the broken-off part and am hoping that when it has fully cured that it will actually work. Couldn’t resist inlaying some left-over sugru into the recessed apple logo on the adaptor to coordinate the whole thing with the laptop…”

Chris dove in and made his first ever hack – repaired his snapped curtain rail !

Brilliant ! What’s going to be your first sugru hack?
