Left angle micro USB cable
I'm looking for a high quality (20awg) left angle micro usb power only cable. Surprisingly this is harder to find than I would of thought. I have a touchscreen and camera connected to my Pi 3B and I want to make sure it has all the current it needs. I plan on cutting the cable and wiring it into a buck converter. Cable needs to be left angle because I have my Pi w/ touchscreen mounted in this enclosure: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/4855
Does anyone have a link on aliexpress or amazon (or anywhere) for such a cable?

Interesting request, I don't recall seeing the wire information in any of the listings I have seen to date... Note to self... I must be more observant!
If you intend to cut the end off and connect to a buck regulator, why does it need to be power only, surely you could simply ignore the data wires.
this may make locating suitable connectors easier.
shame they don't use USB C, they have ambidextrous cables...

After searching for what was too long on the internet, I just decided to solder some wires to the VCC and Ground points on the RPi instead.
Problem solved!
