Wireless charging + Battery

[Ethan-html]

Feature Description

A battery with support for USB-C and wireless charging options.

Justification

This feature would allow the 5-inch screen to be portable, making it easier to monitor prints on the go. Wireless charging enables the creation of a custom 3D-printed dock and case, eliminating the need to plug in the device manually. However, USB-C would remain available for faster charging or when the dock is unavailable. The design should prioritize staying small and portable to enhance ease of use and convenience.

Suggested Implementation

Provide a parts list and detailed instructions for any required wiring or soldering. Include 3D-printable files for both the case and the charging dock to facilitate easy assembly, ensuring the final product remains compact and easy to carry.

I just used a 4056-battery charging board, an 18650 battery and some battery terminals I had. Needed a JP 1.25 connector for the 5" screen because it has a battery in terminal, but the 2.8 has a 4P 1.25 port you can use. Just find the pins you need with the documentation, I forget which are which.

Wire + and - for the battery and the + and - for the load with the JP 1.25 or 4P to connect to the screen. That's really all. This 4056 has USB-C but you could also wire any connector you need if you want to change it or get one with type A or micro.

The 3d files would depend on the case you want to put the x-touch in. I made a temp holder and printed a random 18650 battery case I found on Printables but plan to make it all in one once my filament order arrives.
