Battery Holder

Inspired by the reference, a laser cut version was chosen instead. The battery holes were carefully laid out using Fusion 360 in sketch mode, taking advantage of rectangular patterning for maximum efficiency. This approach proved particularly effective for this project. The design was then loaded into Inkscape for cutting, with strokes adjusted to an ultra-thin 0.001" to prevent engraving and ensure precise cuts. Using high-quality birch wood, a thickness of 1/8" was chosen for the cut, which was executed on our Epilog 30W laser. To add an extra layer of protection, blue tape was applied to avoid scorch marks during the cutting process. Once complete, the base section was carefully glued into place before finishing with sturdy #4 1/2" antique brass screws and precisely cut dowels to create a seamless joint.
