Galaxy Trucker Batteries (E-Cells)

thingiverse

Love to play Galaxy Trucker but tired of desperately trying to grasp those little-tiny-slippy little devilish green batteries and get them fly all over the place?Got you covered.Two easy to print pieces that make an enclosure around those E-Cells.A very small amount of glue is preferable to keep the top in place.Aesthetic and practical addition to your game.Compatible with old Galaxy Trucker edition, dont know if it will fit latest edition (I guess ?). If not, rescaling it would probably do the trick?Batteries token I have: 10.62mm(L) x 6.25mm (W) x 4.05mm (H)See this thing for a tray : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6440640This is my very first design sketched only with Thinkercad so the amount of precision is not perfect, but fit very well the purpose. If you magnify the piece to micrometer resolution, yeah, you might see some irregularities here and there but honestly... once printed, everything looks good and sturdy.PRINT NOTES:15-20% Infill give good resultsNo Support needed for the "Battery_Cage".For the "Battery_Top", if your printer is doing very good bridges, no supports are needed.If not, a "Line" type support "Touching the buildplate" gave me very clean results for the top part. "Lines" supports left very little amount of material to clean under the cap. I used "Supports Blocker" in Cura to avoid having unnecessary supports for the lightning logo (so small, it prints well without supports).You can see a very little "bump" on one of the cage frame's leg (black) and a matching small "depression" under the cap piece. It was originally added to ensure cap orientation. Turns out that both orientations of the cap is fitting well so I left it there.Colors used in photos are Silk Copper, with a filament change for a black color. Silk Silver is used for the cap.If you print it, please post a make, I would love to see those E-cells cages spread all over the galaxy by you, fellow Truckers !
