OK, Let's discuss power requirements.
The Power Supplies
These are the Power Supplies for the Raspberry Pi 4. I'll discuss why I chose these further down the page.
The Power Supply Switch
This is a USB C power switch that works with the Raspberry Pi 4 Power Supply. I'll discuss why I chose this further down the page.
PURCHASE AT: CANAKIT
USB C 90 Degree
This is a USB C 90 degree angle. I'll discuss why I chose this further down the page.
PURCHASE AT: AMAZON
USB C To USB Micro Adapter
This is a USB C to USB Micro Adapter. This makes the transition to the proper plug for the USB C to USC Micro for the Raspberry Pi 3B and 3B+. More to follow.

The Power Hookup
OK, now the explanation. The Power Supply for the Raspberry Pi 4 puts out 5.1 volts at 3 amps on a USB C connection. This setup converts the RaspBerry Pi 4 USB C Power supply to the 3B and 3B+ Micro USB. This setup gives a better power Supply ripple / noise protection for the Raspberry Pi 3B and 3B+. This allows for the Hotspot / Repeater power to come out the top and back, while the Hotspot is standing up on it's side. This so the display can be seen without binding the power connector. Also I now get power supply ON/OFF switch. OK, this is a lot to do, yet, I wish to have my equipment last a long time, or as long as possible.
Assembly of the above parts.
