Battery box

thingiverse

As a photographer I have lots of electronic devices that take all kinds of batteries. There are loads of AA and AAA battery boxes out there, but when you buy CR2's or CR2430's then boxes are hard to find so you leave them in the packaging, use one, then the one remaining bumbles around your bag, short circuits and/or leaks. Pah, not any more. AA and AAA holders There are 3 varieties: round for 3 or 4 batteries (very inefficient), linear and offset for 2, 3 or 4 cells. If you think you might want a 6, let me know and I'll make one out. All with slots so you can add your "I'm charged" indicator. As well as a lid, these also need a bolt printing out. CR2, CR123 and 18650 holders Designed for a single cell, CR2 and CR123 cells are not rechargeable, but the 18650 is. Don't forget a lid as well. CR2430 holder Urgh, coin batteries. As well as a lid, this holder also has an insert to separate the batteries. Yep, I had 3. Sorry. Downloading Sorry about the order the files appear to be in, there doesn't seem to be a way to sort alphabetically other than drag things around. If you have a preference for a single box, your best bet is probably to download the whole lot and then let your operating system order them. Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 100% Notes: Pretty much anything goes. All the holders are designed to use the Ultimakers "Print one-at-a-time" setting as well, so you can load the print plate and not worry about the drag edges. How I Made This I started with the CR2 holders that I needed quite urgently, then moved to the 2430's and the insert. Then I realized the 18650's would be good for transport as well, CR123's are no different. I then got clever with the same style for the AAA range... fail in my opinion. So I designed the linear and offset holders for them.
