Button Cells Holder

thingiverse

Hi friends, I'm struggling with my button cell problems. There are many sizes to choose from, but the references often cater only to top-notch experts. Finding the right size that fits perfectly in a small space is not easy. I searched for pre-made solutions online, but none of them met my requirements. So, I decided to create something myself. My design specifications were clear: * A box (not just an open cradle) * The battery name on the box * A pack of 10 batteries * Compatible with alkaline (AGxx type) or Lithium (CRxx) batteries * An optional cradle to group boxes despite different sizes With the help of the amazing Supercalifragilistic sorcerer, I created this Button Cells Holder, affectionately known as BCH or Bisch. Using it is as simple as choosing a reference and printing it. For alkaline batteries, there are many types of references; I used AG (e.g., AG1). Websites like http://altert.family.free.fr/pere/tcpiles.html provide compatibility information without ads and fast loading. For Lithium batteries, I chose CR because it includes the size (CR2320 is 23mm in diameter and 2mm wide). The same STL file contains both the cradle and the cover to minimize the number of files. If you need to print only one piece, use the "split object" function in Repetier-Host or your slicer. I added a cradle for boxes with various sizes available. Simply measure the total width of your boxes and choose the nearest size from my options. Of course, there are many more references and potential box cradle or battery reference needs. Feel free to ask, and I'll try to upload what you need. Due to the small size of the boxes, I optimized printing for efficiency. The inner wall thickness is 0.8mm, matching my nozzle size (0.4mm). If you encounter printing issues with different nozzle sizes, contact me, and I might create a version for your specific setup. No support needed; just use 10% infill for simple printing. I hope you enjoy the BCH! One final note: don't be surprised to see the battery reference on the side of the cover instead of the top. This is done to allow no-support printing. Welcome to my home.
