I stumbled across a video from Shop Therapy called "Design And Build Your Own Power Bank" and was inspired to make my own version of a Power Bank using an empty Respawn Mint Tin.

It turned out that 2 18650 power cells fit perfectly into the mint tin body. I then created a 3D printed cap/head that holds the USB-C PCB board and snugly snapped into the top of the tin.

I then created a cap to hold the USB-C board and after many iterations, I ended up with my final fully functional power bank!

I also added fuzzy skin on the final design in Prusa Slicer to hide the random seam placement & give a little more grip.

Note

18650 Battery Packs (x2)

$27

I didn't want to mess with soldering lithium ion batteries, so I purchased pre-made versions for safety & easy assymbly

USB-C Power Module (x4)

$12

I selected this because it was only ~19mm tall so the 3D printed cap could be as short as possible.

JST-PH 2.0 Connector Cables (x10)

$8

Using this cable allowed me to easily connect and disconnect the battery from the USB-C power module. 

The only soldering I had to do was the male cable to the power module.
