Bosch old 14,4V Column-Style Battery to 18V Slide-On Battery Adapter

prusaprinters

<p>I have old BOSCH devices that need the old 14.4 V NiMH Battery Packs from BOSCH (Form O, 2607335850). I designed this adapter such that you can use the standard BOSCH proferssional slide-on batteries (GBA-18V) instead.</p> <p>Note that BOSCH rebranded the 14.4 V system to 18 V. Any 14.4 V device/battery is still fully compatible with the 18 V system.</p> <p>I just added an additional screw hole to the BOSCH form-o (2607335850) adapter from nessatse (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3107232">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3107232</a>) so that it does not conflict with the slide-on mechanism of the BOSCH GBA battery packs. The GBA-18V holder is a remake of the holder by Simhopp (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2007996">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2007996</a>). I just made some changes to it so that it fits nessatses adapter.</p> <p>I used a copper strip (1 x 10 mm) that was soft enough to slide it through the slots. However you can also use brass strips and just use a metal cutting screw from the side to connect them. If you want to bend, you can also cut away the bridge of the GBA adapter to give you more room.</p> <p>You will need 3 x M4 Screws (10 mm length) and 3x M4 nuts. Furthermore you need a spring for the button mechanism. Please see <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3107232">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3107232</a> for more details on this.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>I printed with 150% extrusion width, 3 perimeters and and 10% infill. The bosch-formO-14.4-adapter.stl is the only model i printed with supports.</p>
