FTC Battery Holder

thingiverse

This is a battery holder for the REV 12V Slim Battery. It has two versions, one for the battery access from the narrow side and one for access from the wide side. These files are named top load and side load respectively. There is also a lid that is glued to the holder which allows printing without supports. CA glue works very well for this. So, for each holder 2 parts should be printed, a holder and a lid. The edge has 3mm holes spaced 8mm apart to conform to the standard REV spacing. This allows very flexible mounting. The open style case allows for many options of securing with velcro straps (see photos). Along the narrow side are 2 slots for these straps. We found that they are not needed along the wide side.
