I'm new to 3D printing and CAD, it's not the best looking, I was going for fast printing. I borrowed a couple of files from the internet to get the dimensions of the charger and the thunderbolt.

You might want to print it laying down, so the layer lines aren't at the breaking to get stuck inside your laptop , but nice altogether! My charger has long died, and I'm using a USB c to mag charger that mostly works (and still disconnects if you look at it funny)
Sounds like a good idea, thanks! I was planning on printing a new one because the thunderbolt plug is a little long, I'll see how it goes lying down.
I really dislike these magnetic chargers, it has been bothering me since I bought this laptop in 2015, it's so unreliable.
The right angle MagSafe chargers are much better if you can find one. They have less leverage in the magnets, plus the cord can come out the back of the laptop, or along side the side, which usually fits better in my use cases.
