The Cairo Power Bank

A fully 3D-printed, open-source power bank that turns a simple idea into a hands-on making experience — built from scratch, shared open source for everyone to recreate.

Meet Cairo Power Bank

The 4-Cell Open-Source Power Bank is a fully 3D-printed power bank designed and built entirely from scratch. It’s compact, practical, and powered by four lithium cells — a perfect example of how digital fabrication and hands-on making can bring an everyday idea to life. Every part, from the body to the internal structure, was thoughtfully designed for function, durability, and ease of assembly.

Open Hardware for Everyone. In the spirit of open-source making, all design files, electronics schematics, and assembly guides are freely available for anyone to download, modify, and recreate. Whether you’re a maker, educator, or curious beginner, this project invites you to explore, build, and learn by making something truly useful — your own custom power bank.

Parts List

Below you can find all the parts that I used to build the Cairo Power Bank. You can easily print, export, or open on your computer!

We are editing this file frequently to make sure that it’s always up-to-date and to make it easier for you to build the Cairo Power Bank on your own. Also, you can buy the full kit from our official store and build it yourself. Don’t worry, we made a full build guide for you to follow. Find it at the end of this page

Source Files

Below you can download the STL files, you can use those files to 3d print the Cairo Power Bank enclosure parts. Settings I use to print them: 15% infill, 0.2 mm layer height (with 0.4 mm nozzle). Choose your preferred colors and be unique
If you are going to order or manufacture that on your own just simply send those files to any makerspace or a fab lab with a 3d printer machine. All STL files are in mm.

We are always amazed by the community builds! We are encouraging You to make edits and fork our design. Here you can download the STEP file of the Cairo Power Bank.

Educational Materials

If you are interested in organizing/hosting/delivering a build night or a workshop to the community to build the Cairo Power Bank, we’ve got your back! We are making all the educational materials we used to deliver the Cairo Power Bank workshops and build nights open-source and free.

Here you can find the workshop presentation slides and the supporting materials!

Also, to help you announce the workshop to the community, we prepared an announcement and marketing images for you.
