18650 case Groot

thingiverse

I needed a slim 18650 case, but couldn't find one that fit my requirements, so I decided to create one myself. Despite being one of my first designs, it turned out pretty well. I wanted the case not only to be slim, but also unique. As a fan of the movie Guardians of the Galaxy and its character Groot, I found two items on Thingiverse that I could use for my design - Baby Groot trapped in Carbonite and the phrase "I am Groot". The case was designed from scratch using Tinkercad. I also added three magnets to hold the top cap in place and one magnet to secure the batteries inside. To give it a metallic finish, I used cheap markers and got a decent result. If you want to create your own slim 18650 case with a Groot theme, you can access my Tinkercad design at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/3JZCCd820ZN.
