AA Battery Dispenser - Won't Jam

prusaprinters

<p>I got tired and frustrated after printing other dispenser designs and having them jam after only a few batteries were dispensed. So I came up with this jam-free design and it really works well and it holds 37 batteries.</p><p>If you lay the model down on its side on the printer bed, you only need a very tiny amount of support from the bed only. All it has to support is the curl of the 3 dispenser chutes.</p><p><strong>Hints on gluing the side cover.</strong></p><p>You can use the dispenser without the Side Cover, but it adds strength and keeps the batteries from falling out.</p><p>Be very careful when gluing the Side Cover to the dispenser.</p><p>If you use too much glue there is a chance it will ooze into the battery chutes and interfere with the dispensing. Use glue very sparingly to avoid this.<br>I used epoxy glue on PLA and it worked fine. I prefer epoxy as it gives you lots of time to get perfect alignment.</p><p><strong>Here is a video of the AA Battery Dispenser in action:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNuaQPtJWaI">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNuaQPtJWaI</a></p><p><strong>My AAA Battery Dispenser can be found here:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/310569-aaa-battery-dispenser-that-wont-jam">https://www.printables.com/model/310569-aaa-battery-dispenser-that-wont-jam</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
