Solar Display Case

Getting closer to the finish line! The wiring includes both power and display cables in addition to a solar panel and portable power bank. The monitors are powered by two USB-C cables providing 5 volts running into a rocker switch that controls the power from the portable power bank. The power bank is charged from a micro USB cable running to the solar panel on the exterior of the case. I was originally going to use foam to hold the wiring in place but since this is portable and foam is horrible for the environment I decided to just use stand-offs instead to give the cables enough space to not interfere with any of the other case components. The standoffs are made with 100% recycled materials including bottle caps and defect scuff protectors from a craft store that purchases the defective products from hardware and department stores for resale.

The gas struts have been installed! Now its time to preform the spatial calculations so the case will close when the monitors are folded so I can affix them to the hinges.

First Step! Remove existing case brackets and replace with gas struts to allow for screen clearance and folding.
