USB Power Bank Lipo Battery

thingiverse

Human: Needed leftover parts from a project, decided to build a Power Bank. Wanted it to be open and closed easily so the lipo battery could be charged. Made a square box, couldn't figure out how to do that. Took an idea from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2574631 . Changed some things for the display, USB, switch, and made it long enough for my 3000Mha lipo. List of needed parts: display - https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Wires-DC4-5-30V-LED-3-Digital-Diaplay-Voltage-Voltmeter-Panel-Meter-NEW/152944150703?hash=item239c2e88af:m:m8T8X0y-WVrAmTjUPHWu4XQ switch - https://www.ebay.com/itm/30x23mm-DC-12V-3-Pins-LED-Dot-Light-Car-Boat-Round-Rocker-On-Off-Toggle-Switch/192734181065?hash=item2cdfda36c9:m:mXlkHDJwW0tUNoyL6eYO57w XT60 connectors - https://www.ebay.com/itm/1Pair-XT60-Male-Female-Bullet-Connectors-Plugs-For-RC-Hobby-Lipo-Battery-Topvb/273781941826?hash=item3fbeace642%3Ag%3A7eUAAOSw2gxYosNf&LH_BIN=1 USB Socket - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Splitter-LED-Dual-USB-Charger-Power-Adapter-Outlet/312057612680?hash=item48a8154988:m:mW2nOc5LLvgg5u-gHWNz0mg Had to figure out connections and make some before installing. USB socket had its own XT60 cable, hooked up to switch and display after installation. Already on there from another project, that's just how it was done. After all components were installed (except lipo battery), used a hot melt glue gun and put glue into the tube all the way down on top of the digital display to help hold it in place. Could also do the same on the switch, but it holds pretty well as is, but the display is loose. While printing, tried to make prints that don't need supports and this one didn't if printed correctly. Lid may need to be flipped and could use some supports around the outside edge, but didn't need them. Glued the legs on.
