So my trusty USB-C Dongle which I use to connect my switch to a TV on the road is dying. The cable has frayed and I don’t want to touch it any more.
So I decided to turn it into a USB-C Hub… basically give it a shell to hide away the cable.
Designed the part in FreeCAD in 30 min, and BOOM
Needed to do a bit of a redesign after the first print, what you see here is the V2. The Lid slides on and the USB-C to C female connector is slotted in. Needed to heat it up to get it to fit.
But I am very pleased with the design. Works well (now the slots are bigger. And I can safely throw it into a bag without risk of self destruction.
Sure I do need more cables but this also means I can upgrade/replace cables when they ware down.
5/7 would recommend!
You should see a doctor for that.
… usually comments like this imply I goofed on spelling, but I can’t see which word it was. Can you point it out to me plz?
He’s concerned for your dongle, as are we all. Get well soon.
Is that making your own hub as much as it is designing a case to extend the life of an existing hub?
Why out of 7?
