Efficient Infill-Divided Battery Holders

prusaprinters

<p>These battery holders are just really simple crate type, but with a difference. These were made completely in PrusaSlicer, utilising only primitives from the shape library and adjusting the perimeter and infill options to achieve an exact fit for the intended battery arrangements.</p><p>While this is not a super-efficient solution, such as what could potentially be done better with a pure G-code generator, this is what I could come up with for now - and when tweaked just right the results are extremely clean and quite pleasing.</p><p>I like the hexagonally arranged type especially as it makes better use of the area given, is stronger, and hexagons fascinate me. Also this 20-cell model is 69x69 mm, which fits exactly inside the base of a Tetra Rex carton, so this can also be used to further package the contents.</p><p>To make your own sizes requires some dabbling with the parameters, model groups and the “Infill Shifter” shape because of the way PrusaSlicer handles infill generation. Have fun!</p><p>I will post some more of these soon.</p>
