USB Power Bank Lipo Battery

thingiverse

Had some left over parts from a project and decided to make this Power Bank. But I needed to make it something that could be open and closed easily enough so the lipo battery could be charged. Made a square box , but couldnt figure a good way to do that. So I took an idea from this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2574631 . Changed some things around for the display, usb , and switch , and also made it long enough to fit my 3000Mha lipo in it. Here are a list of some of the things needed to complete this project. 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 I had to make sure of how this was connected and actually made some connections before installing. The USB socket had its own XT60 cable and just hooked up to the switch and display after it was installed. It was already on there from another project and thats just the way I did it. After all components where installed (except lipo battery) I usedmy hot melt glue gun and put a bunch of glue into the tube all the way down on top of the digital display to help hold that in place . You could also do the same on the switch i would imagine , but it holds pretty form the way t is , but the display is in there loose . WHile printing as usual , I try to make my prints so they dont need supports and this did not need supports if printed correctly. Lid may need to be flipped and could use some supports around the outside edge , but I didnt need them. I glued the legs on .
