Battery Cap for Coleman CT-35 Flashlight

I smashed my flashlight end cap so I made new ones. I've included several different versions depending on your preference or available parts. There are three main styles of end caps and two variants for each style. The files labeled "Original Bottom" are an aesthetic clone of the original part. The bottom has a recessed section, so they won't print without supports. The "Solid Bottom" variants are exactly as they sound. I filled in the recession for ease of printing or cleanup. Finally, the "Concentric Bottom" variants were designed after I printed the original with concentric 3D supports in Cura. I liked the look, so I made a version that has them automatically included. This version won't need supports. Each of the above versions has two options: Original Innards and Washer Innards. If you still have the original end cap, carefully remove the metal contact from inside it and drop it into the extrusions on the "Original Innards" variants. Then use a soldering iron or whatever hot tool you have to melt down the pegs and lock it in place. If you don't have the original cap, substitute a standard washer in its place. The "Washer Innards" variant is designed for a 1/4 inch washer to fit over the center extrusion. After inserting the washer, use a hot tool to melt the plastic over the washer and lock it in place.
