ImmersionRC PowerPlay 18650 Battery Case v4

thingiverse

WARNING! Please use a more advanced version: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4080213 because my model here was reverse engineered to get the ball rolling for the community. This did what I hoped and caused Tony Cake from ImmersionRC to release the original STL for the case, which encouraged Haku3D (above) to use that to make a far more accurate and well-designed case. Admittedly, this model I made still works, but I never finished making a decent battery protector. Anyways, I hope you'll still enjoy and appreciate the work I put into this! Purpose I just got an ImmersionRC PowerPlay, and its battery life is abysmal despite being an awesome product. I personally use a lot of 18650's in my transmitter and old goggles batteries, so I decided the PowerPlay should support 18650. Requirements * Holds 18650 batteries * Isn't flimsy or cheap. Make something people would actually use! * Mounts to the existing headset strap * Uses NO additional parts (besides the printed parts) History * November 26, 2019 - V1: Initial invention to size it out and iterate. * November 27 - V2: Iteration to add necessary angling of battery because of the mainboard and its connector ports. * November 27 - V3: Slight tweaks in dimensions and location of ports, added first attempt at making it mount into the goggles strap. * December 1 - V4: Slight tweaks in location of USB-C port, added a battery cover. TODO * NO LONGER MAINTAINED, will be using the one from Haku3d above instead (see top of this document for info) Print Settings Supports: Yes Infill: 15% Material: Generic Red PLA Layer Height: 0.2mm Brim: Yes License and Open Source This is licensed to be open source, requiring attribution (credit) to myself, and non-commercial. Please do not try to profit off of this. I'm merely donating my time to making something awesome even better.
