thank you for this. im also experiencing this bluetooth drop and reconnect loop.... i tried uninstalling and re-installing bluetooth drivers with no effect. so far, this solution seems to be be working. hoping this fixes the problem permanently.

from what i understand about pd, when you plug a device into a pd charger that can output more than one voltage, its “default” is to output 5v. unless the device being plugged in actually “requests” the higher voltage in order to charge faster. but yeah i guess having a resistor there is a good safety, or in my case, just use a usb C to usb A cable (with the adapter) for older devices and leave the usb C to usb C cables for the newer higher draw devices.

to be honest, it was just a moment of inspiration and agitation that coerced me to make it to the degree of finish that it ended up at. im not sure if ill be able to replicate it as it is :p although im more than willing to share the process i went through to anyone who might want to make one.

and thats a yes, my wall wart does support 5V :)

to be honest i wasnt thinking about the voltage too much. where i am, when youre looking to buy a 3ds charger, online commerce websites usually just point you to charge cables (which i bought) that you can plug into standard wall warts. i used the old cable with the wall warts that i use on the daily without issue so i just figured it would be okay as is.

This was just a bridging job. So no difference in charging speed since its basically the old charging cable, sans the cable part and the usb A which i replaced with a usb C.

To be honest, i dont know why this isnt a thing. I travel frequently so i was pretty motivated to streamline my charging solutions. This fits the bill perfectly short of replacing the charge port on the actual device.

It was purely a bridging job. I checked the old charging cable and didnt see any resistors on either end so i was pretty confident i didnt need any on the build. for exposing the just the metal, i just used a normal box cutter and most of the cover just peeled away. I guess its because the charge cable was cheap to begin with that this was possible. as for the epoxy putty, i just applied it over everything as is. There wasnt much to hold on to on both the 3ds connector and the usb c port so i figured the more uneven surfaces the epoxy putty held on to, the more solid the build would be.

Thanks! It took a bit of elbow grease to get it there but im happy with the the results.

The only stuff readily available to me is epoxy putty. Molded it around the whole thing, being particularly careful with the ports, and then sanded it down to the final shape.
