AA Battery Cover

thingiverse

Exercise in printing TPU so we could take a couple of spare Batteries down the beach in case our Electric whisk for the cold coffee runs out..Essential !! I printed these with a 0.6mm Nozzle at 212c , The cheaper TPU prints well at this Temperature as it is mostly intended for 3D Pens. I have used the more expensive TPU that everyone knows is terribly expensive for us Hobbyists but I can not afford to use it on this sort of project . I print as fast as I possibly can . this took about 20minutes. If the first print is a bit snug to the battery's scale the .stl on your Slicer 1.01 and have another go.The fit will depend on your nozzle size etc. I always print with a skirt ( brim ) that is attached to the print to create a decent vacuum to hold the printing in place. I use a glass bed. You may find with a lot of the Smarter Beds you do not need the Skirt. Saving you some careful trimming with Cuticle Scissors. More Soon.
