Teaching Tech | Making the ultimate camping powerbank + Bambu Lab X1 update @TeachingTech | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 2 days ago
Last year I picked up some nice Headway LiFePo4 cells, so what to build with them? With warmer months on the way, I decide to design and 3D print my own mega powerbank. It can charge two phone/tablets at once multiple times, run any 12V auto or camping equipment, and recharge from solar panels. It also has an onboard BMS to keep it safe and prevent any mishaps.
In this video I also include an update on the Bambu Lab X1 3D printer. It has been receiving small updates to improve reliability, new firmware and software, plus online documentation. If you backed it on Kickstarter, you might find this portion useful.
