Custom PCB to easily replace your 3DS XL's proprietary charging port with a universal USB-C port

This mod requires some case trimming, and I would recommend abandoning your charging dock contacts. More information available in the instructions page. Where to Buy USA: Buy on Amazon - (Why Amazon…

The truly universal USB-C dream is finally realized for your Nintendo 3DS XL!

Charge your Nintendo 3DS XL with USB-C, using any USB-C cable and charger! If it fits, it'll charge! Finally you can stop carrying around that extra proprietary cable!

My design is inspired by this existing PCB that only works with USB-A -> USB-C cables. In my opinion, if you're gonna future-proof your 3DS XL, you shouldn't remain reliant on Type-A!

My PCB works with USB-C <-> USB-C cables as well, so you can use ANY USB-C cable/charger to charge it! I've also verified it works with USB-A -> USB-C cables, Quick Charge, and USB-PD! That means if your charger or USB battery pack offers 5V/9V/12V/etc., it will recognize the 3DS XL can only accept 5V and charge accordingly.

No 3D-printed part is included, but the file is available for you to print yourself, if you want.
