Replacing glue with screws.
for a construction that relies heavily on glue, which makes it difficult to replace components without breaking the case.
“I am taking on a significant project to demonstrate how one of the most popular gadgets today — Apple’s AirPods Pro — could have been easily made repairable with minimal effort,” Pillonel says in a press release. “My primary objective is to encourage consumers to be more mindful of their choices and to motivate manufacturers to prioritize sustainability.”
With his project, Pillonel attempted to recreate each component of the AirPods Pro charging case before modifying them to be held together with nuts and screws rather than glue. The modifications make it easier to get inside the charging case without breaking it in order to swap out the battery — no soldering required.The project focuses on the charging case of the AirPods Pro; Pillonel isn’t ready to make the earbuds themselves repairable just yet.
While the amount of glue present in the modded case is reduced compared to Apple’s original design, Pillonel admits that he still uses a little to hold some magnets in place. But “if you still want to replace them for some reason, I use cyanoacrylate glue that can easily be removed by soaking it with acetone, unlike Apple’s green glue which feels like concrete,” he says.
