9V battery holder with momentary switch holder

thingiverse

I helped my daughter create a poster for her concert that she was attending, and we decided to add some LEDs to make it more exciting. We needed a power supply, so I chose a 9V battery as the most suitable option. To house the battery, I designed a holder that included space to mount a momentary switch, allowing my daughter to turn the LEDs on and off at will. The design was adapted from another excellent model. The switch was purchased from a local electronics store for $0.99; it's a momentary N/O type. To assemble the battery holder, we simply slide the 9V battery in, where it is firmly held by two arms. Next, the switch is slid down and rests on its mounting point, which I secured with hot glue. Note that this was not a precision assembly job, but the results were perfect for our intended use. Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: Prusa i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 30% Notes: It seems to print fine with very basic settings. My first prototype had one of the battery prongs break when flexed, but I think I was applying too much pressure. The second print was much better and ended up being the final product.
