2-Cell 18650 Multi-purpose housing

myminifactory

Seems like every single 18650 holder / housing / case I've come across on Thingiverse didn't quite fit the bill. Some were for niche applications, some weren't meant to be used beyond storage, and some didn't seem to allocate extra space for contacts.\r\nSo, I popped into Fusion360, and this is the end result.\r\nIt's a 2-cell holder with several features:\r\nMounting holes spaced 20mm from either end and 9.75mm from center spine\r\nCavities for contacts on either end\r\nWiggle room for easy installation and removal of cells\r\nExtended notches at each terminal point to accommodate multiple contact styles or soldered wire.\r\nSide cutout for ease of use because fingers are fatter than exacto blades.\r\nStrap / tie-down brackets in case you want to strap this to a squirrel someday.\r\n\r\nHope it's useful. Always open to design ideas and suggestions.\r\nIf you printed it out, feel free to post photos or two.\r\nImage of Printed part done with 0.2mm layer height, 3 top and bottom solid layers, 20% infill, with a 0.4mm nozzle.
