Description
Description:
This is a compact and powerful all-in-one charging station, designed to eliminate cable clutter on your desk or nightstand. The core of the project is a 140W power supply, modified to be integrated into a 3D printed case that houses 4 retractable USB-C cables
Key features:
- High Power: Supports up to 140W total, ideal for simultaneously charging smartphones, tablets, and laptops
- Zero Visible Cables: Thanks to the 4 integrated retractable cables, you will only have the necessary cable length, keeping your workspace tidy
- Custom Design: The case includes a front power switch and a modern aesthetic with a textured top
- Device Support: The integrated side wings act as stands to hold phones or tablets upright during charging
To adapt the power supply to the specific needs of my custom project, I proceeded with a structural modification aimed at reducing its bulk and changing the input power method
Procedure followed:
1. Case Opening: Using a professional cutter and carefully prying, I removed (unbonded) the black section of the plastic frame. This operation was necessary to access the internal electronic board without damaging the components
2. EU Plug Removal: Once the circuit was exposed, I proceeded to desolder the pins of the standard European plug. This removal eliminates the original wall plug, freeing up valuable space within the new housing
3. Wiring Preparation: With the AC input terminals now free, the board is ready to be connected directly to the project's electrical line via new cables or direct soldering, ensuring a more stable and compact connection
Required materials:
- x4 Retractable USB-C cable
