I used a tutorial to make this USB hub.
A simple USB hub for me.
Features!
- 3 USB C ports ( 1 for power, 2 for connections)
- 2 USB A ports
- 3D printed case
- Some flair
It's too expensive on Amazon to buy a hub! And I want to learn some hardware experience by wiring, designing the schematics and show other people how such I am a "DIY" pro.
Well first, you need a JLCPCB account. And you will need a way to get the case printed. You can use Google to look up a list of providers that will 3D print the cases.
I recommended you download the gerber file and upload it to the JLCPCB website and order the PCBA.
Fairly simply, connect the USB C on the left side (the port with the power icon on the case!) to a device (e.g Laptop) and then you plug your peripherals to the USBs (2 of them on each side!)

I dont have much cables at home, so I want to buy them (USB-A!!!). 🙏
I don't know how much the shipping will be for the 3D case (approx $10 USD?)
