Thanks! I always want to make a phone (or arm based device in general) but I am still in the process of enquiring enough knowledge to make it possible.
Hey I made something similar to what u did, if u are revisiting this project do use the newer SW3518s, it can do 100 watts each port. I was working on a version 2 with a SW3518s and KC42-4 so I searched on instructables but your design looks so good and compact too! Mahn i wish I was able to 3D print would love to share my older design with u
Did you custom build the case? I will probably source a case and cut some holes in it, if you have any recommendations I would appreciate it. Although it probably wouldn't be hard to make a functional case by folding some steel sheets, it wouldn't be as beautiful as yours and it's a lot more convenient just buying one.
I 3D printed the case and processed it with sanding and spray painting. If you want something just works, of course you can do it that way but it won't be as charm as custom fitting a case for it 🙌
I think you might need to have an account and login in order to view that item on that site. Alternatively, you might want to take a look on Alibaba and see if they have similar products that sold / ship to foreign regions.
That is because Apple have the budget to go with way more compact parte and manufacturing process, like the use of 4 layers PCB and smaller chips which requires industrial PnP machine to solders.
I have plans to upgrade this with GaN modules (40W x 6) for the 24v conversion when they get cheaper in the future. By that time, I will got enough space to fit in a small display for real-time information. The 3d printer used here is the Ender 3 with glass bed mod and sliced using aPrint Editor default settings.
@@Iinustechtips ip5398 boards on the market usually have larger footprints than the one I am using. I guess it only seems big on camera is because of its black outer casing , which I keep it there to prevent any accidental short circuit with the AC power supply below. If you decided to go the extreme, you can of course use it without its case.

@@tobychui You may have posted A link, but clicking on it DOESN'T lead the charger, just to the taobao home page and is asking for a login. Perhaps you could try to make a link that works for everyone, not just for you. Please.
@@Brian_Of_Melbourne I have double checked the link. I haven't got any issue for viewing the charger after logging in. From what I observe it seems the seller is just a small workshop somewhere in China and I can't find the matching link on Aliexpress (accessible without login). If you really want to get one, maybe I can help you to communicate with the seller and see if he can ship to your country?
@@tobychui Thanks for the offer, but it was more about curiosity to see the charger thing, its specs and its price. I (and many others I believe) are AliExpress rather than taobao users, anything similar on eBay or Amazon? It would be helpful for people wanting to learn from your design to be able to easily get these modules.
@@tobychui The fact that the module (which is the heart of your design) isn't widely available means it hasn't been independently tested or reviewed. Which is perhaps a worry for some makers.
This is awesome I love the design right down to the fading triangular holes. Would love to see you make a simple phone. 🌹

Very nice. I like your case design.
Your finger nails are long.

Great project. The link on hackaday doesn't work for the PD Regulator Module item.

從hackaday看到文章過來的,蠻不錯的點子
但我對於那個AC Adapter module會有點怕怕
畢竟200w的AC adapter,一般有過相關認證的會大顆很多,跟磚頭一樣XD
建議你參考看看明緯的產品,雖然貴不少,體積也大了不少
但安規跟認證會齊全很多
因為 12 月的台北 Maker Faire 2022 要用所以我先用便宜的電供來開發,之後我是打算等市場上出現了便宜的 24V 200W 的 GaN 電供模組再進行替換。
@@tobychui 等GaN可能就有得等了,更不用說是模組,畢竟模組的市場相對小
我也是一直觀望有沒有便宜又小的12v GaN module或成品
(大功率的都好大顆,後來考慮乾脆買GaN type-C變壓器騙12v出來用可能還比較快)
不過如果是要趕時程,概念驗證,理解!!
純粹只是提醒一下,安全要顧XD
Hi I’m new to electronics. Why are Apple chargers so much smaller than your design?
That is because Apple have the budget to go with way more compact parte and manufacturing process, like the use of 4 layers PCB and smaller chips which requires industrial PnP machine to solders.
Good work. What are the amp hours? Any charge amount indicators?
Charger amount indicators is (usually) on the device side. This charger only got power LED for simplicity.
Like your 60w project, it would be awesome with a display to show power usage. Otherwise it looks amazing. Btw which 3d printer do you use?

@@tobychui I see. I think you can save space by also using something like the ip5389 board..the solar pd modules seem a bit big

@@tobychui oh okay. Wish they sold those solar boards in the usa
Awesome
I can't understand anything of the audio
Yes, I notice this issue, that is why I added subtitles :)
Where did you source the PD chargers?
