AA Battery Holder

thingiverse

Here is the rewritten text: I was about to leave this one out, but thought someone might be interested. It's a dual extrusion holder for my rechargeable batteries, used to keep track of which ones are still good and which have died out. This design is one of my early attempts at creating something with two different materials, so it's no surprise that the black bled into the red in some areas. I've also included the SketchUp file if you'd like to modify it for your own use. Print Settings: Resolution: 0.25 mm Infill: 20% Notes: If you're using a FlashForge Creator Pro and Simplify3D, I recommend using the following script to get cleaner prints (I learned this trick after experimenting with color bleeding). It takes a bit longer because it lets one side cool down between tool changes, but it's worth the extra time. Since I printed this in ABS, you may need to adjust the temperatures if you're printing with PLA instead. To add the script, go to Process Settings > Scripts > Tool Change Script and paste the following: ; Tool change script start G1 X120 Y-70 F4000 ; Move out of the way while stabilizing active tool temperature. {IF NEWTOOL=0}; RIGHT Extruder is active {IF NEWTOOL=0}M104 S160 T1; Cool inactive extruder to 160c (T1) {IF NEWTOOL=0}M104 S230 T0; Heat active extruder to 210c (T0). {IF NEWTOOL=0}M133 T0; Stabilize T0 temperature {IF NEWTOOL=1}; LEFT Extruder is active {IF NEWTOOL=1}M104 S160 T0; Cool inactive extruder to 160c (T0) {IF NEWTOOL=1}M104 S230 T1; Heat active extruder to 230c (T0). {IF NEWTOOL=1}M133 T1; Stabilize T1 temperature ; Tool change script end
