Yes, it sucks that you lost your XTEINK X3 cable but there is hope. This adapter on Amazon works and is under US$10. Technically it's a dongle not a cable, but it works and connects to any standard USB C cable. It's also not just me, others on the the XTEINK Discord server have confirmed the adapter works.
