Description
This USB power supply provides 3 ports to concurrently power 3 devices with a total of 50W. The ports included are two Type A 3.0 ports and one Type C port. The USB ports support the following protocols:
PPS, PD3.0, QC3.0, QC4+, SCP, FCP, AFC
Parts List:
- Epson DL-180 power supply
- Baseus module USB Type A x 2 plus USB C connectors
- Riden TC64 USB Type C tester module
- 3D printed enclosure (custom for this project)
- Power switch
- Wire, screws
Since I had the power supply spare, this turned into a low cost, yet smart and powerful power source.
The Epson power module is readily available, new or used. For example, at this unaffiliated link for AU$30:

The "smarts" for this power supply comes from the power module out of the Baseus CCBX-120U3 adapter. This module has the following outputs:
USB1/USB2: 5V/3A, 9V/2A, 10V/2A, 15V/2A, 12V/2.5A 30W Max
Type-C: 5V/3A, 9V/2.22A, 12V/2.5A, 15V/2A, 20V/1.5A 30W Max

Here is my 3D design. My design may match your needs, too.
My print is made in PETG 1.75mm Aurarum red filament, with 0.2mm layer height and 15% infill on a PRUSA I3 MK3S printer.
I hope you can find this design useful, too.
Remember to leave me some feedback or even a tip to keep me enthused to make more of these drawings.
