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.
Re-read your title with "dongle" as a euphemism for a body part.
It's okay, it happens to all guys at that age
