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.
