I got the iBlockCubs Swift Pro.

This thing is incredible:

  • A whole BUNCH of USB-C ports

  • a USB-A port

  • able to charge two MacBook Pros at the same time

  • compact

  • travels well

  • plugs in to all kinds of different outlets all over the world

These are SUPER useful:

I built a 320wh power bank recently. It only has two USB-C ports though.

I guess you could power a pair of MBPs from it, but it’s actually intended to power a raspberry Pi setup for an absurdly long time.

I 3D printed the case, if that matters. $100 worth of batteries, about $20 for the other electronics.

If my math is right, about 12 hours. But that includes dual monitors.

I've now got this fancy dildo maker that I've daisy-chained two filament switching units to (for 8 possible filaments for each print):

It's enabled me to start getting ahead of entropy to some extent with my tools (I wrote the OpenSCAD script to generate the tool trays via parameter):

Your powers are useless! I'm wearing my tinfoil underwear!
