18650 Dispenser Double-Stack Light

thingiverse

I started off by taking the Dispenser Light edition and modifying it using Tinkercad to get the alignment just right. As a beginner, I was still getting the hang of things, but my efforts paid off and the job got done. Next, I wanted to create a similar setup that could hold more batteries than the original version without making it too much taller. The original light edition was printed in pink (as shown in pictures), while the remix was printed in blue. To make room for more batteries, I added some height and width to the main compartment so they stacked up almost next to each other, but not quite, keeping them paired together as well. I also added a honeycomb pattern to reduce plastic usage without compromising structural integrity. Finally, I extended the base in the back to ensure stability when fully loaded with batteries. This new model holds 10 18650-sized batteries and is only about 40 mm taller than the original version.
