TS100 soldering iron USB-C (PD only) power adapter

thingiverse

An adapter fot Miniware TS100 soldering iron using a PDC004 board with IP2721. Those boards come pre-configured for 9V, 12V, 15V or 20V and require a USB power supply or power bank with Power Delivery (which uses CC1 and CC2 pins, so it must be a USB-C to USB-C connection). Not Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 or 4.0, which is a different standard, that uses D- and D+pins and works with USB-A as well, and is unfortunately not supported by the chip, even though some sellers claim otherwise. The 9V and 12V boards have a IP2721_max12V, and 15V and 20V boards have a IP2721, and in both cases can be reconfigured with a jumper. The IP2721_max12V only requests 9V and 12V, and will work with12V as well as 15V and 20V chargers, but at 12V (if they support 12V as well, most do). The IP2721 however, only requests 15V and 20V, and will not work with a 12V max PD power supply - it will give 5V output which is not enough for the soldering iron. So if you have both, make two adapters, as it heats up much faster and has more power with the 20V one, but it won't work with a 12V-only power supply. You'll need a 2.5/5.5mm / 5525 barrel plug (the cheapest unscrewable black plastic housing kind, like this one https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/32414838011.html), and get the 14mm one if you can (the short one also works, but stays in less securely). Solder the wires to the plug before screwing it in, as then it might be difficult. You may also need to tweak the printer settings, as the lid was designed with 0 tolerance, so it can be a press fit. You can glue it too as well.
