C1-10P Battery Box

Modified the design significantly by reducing the wall thickness to an incredibly thin 3mm and adding cutouts specifically tailored for my motors. As a result, I've also managed to shave off about 10mm from the overall height of the structure. To assemble this model successfully, you will need to print mirrored parts to ensure proper hand clearance and mounting points on both sides. After making these modifications, I'm thrilled with the outcome. I'd like to extend my gratitude to TinyP for his concept design posted on the Astromech forums, which served as the inspiration behind this creation. This battery box design is an integral part of my C1-10P "Chopper" build from the Star Wars universe. It attaches securely to my timber footshells using two screws. When printing the parts vertically, supports shouldn't be necessary due to the 45° overhangs and a carefully designed vertical support with a 0.05mm air gap in the bridge piece. This feature makes it easy to remove any excess material later on with side cutters. I've deliberately excluded cutouts for the motors from this design as they are not essential for everyone's needs. However, users can easily create these openings using their preferred software or modify them manually with a dremel or saw.
