AAA Battery Dispenser

thingiverse

*** I have updated the "thing files" for this dispenser after discovering that setting FACETRES to 10 in AutoCAD improved the quality of my prints on November 26, 2020.*** It has been suggested that the original AAA design occasionally jams at the top so I have added a short version with reduced jamming potential. The original was the same overall height as the AA dispenser and the short one has a few millimeters of the top run removed to 'hopefully' minimize jamming. The first complex thing I designed and printed was a AA Battery dispenser. Over the past few years, I have received numerous comments and messages requesting a AAA version. I suddenly found some extra time on my hands - thanks to 2020 - so here is the AAA dispenser. I think it holds 41-42 batteries. There are holes top and bottom for wall/surface mounting. My print bed is not huge, so I have to print the two pieces separately on a ~45 degree diagonal. I used a utility knife to lightly scrape the edges of the body so that they fit into the grooves on the cover without any problems. The cover is held in place with crazy glue gel but many other adhesives would work just fine.
