18650 Dispenser - 2

thingiverse

I created my own customized battery dispenser, inspired by victimiz3d's design on Thingiverse. To prevent batteries from getting jammed during the dropping process, I reduced the width of the battery lane slightly. Additionally, I designed several alternative sizes for users who work with more than a handful of 18650 cells. The original size holds 18 batteries, while other versions accommodate 26, 34, and 50 cells. As I'm currently printing my first "50" version, I'll post a picture later. Edit: Following the initial print and test run, I discovered that the dispenser works well with new 18650 cells but doesn't meet my expectations for "torn-down" cells, which are typically what I use these dispensers for. I'm confident I can improve the design, so this project is currently a work in progress.
