I never have enough 5V power on my desk. Charging a phone, tinkering with a Raspberry pi, add a powered USB hub, and i find myself frustratedly looking for another charger.

NO MORE!

This little monster takes 5V from anything (hopefully a decent source), and split it into 6 usb outputs and one other jack on the other side. The switches allow me to select which ports are ran through the meter, so i can see total usage, or just how much that pi is drawing. (That leaves 4 switches for other stuff, and of course you could choose to use the switches as on/off or whatever.) I also really wanted it to be servicable and "moddable", so i wanted all the solder work (incl. input jack) on one part, and the box be completely seperate, which more or less explains the shape it turned into.

I used very generic parts, which most electronics shops would sell, but here are some links:

I used supports on the lid (for the jack holes), but not for the box. YMMV.

• If i would print this again, i might decrease the vertical gap between lid and box. It doesn't fit as satisfyingly as i'd hoped, but it could also be because my print came off the bed less than perfect.

** The screw holes on the back were intended to secure the lid, but it "clicks" well enough... Then i discovered that they would be kinda peftect to hold the switches pcb in place just by sticking some small pieces of filament in there. The Z-height of these holes should match your soldering skills... so to speak. ;->
