makita battery adaptor heavy duty

I started from joeynovak's work and transformed it into an even more powerful version that can fit any 18-volt tool. With this modification, you can convert any DeWalt, Porter Cable, Ryobi, Bosch, or other brand's 18V tool to run on your Makita batteries. I successfully converted a $34 Porter Cable jigsaw to work with my Makita batteries - the original Makita jigsaw costs around $150. Recently, I also converted an 18-gauge Ryobi brad nailer, which is not even sold by Makita. Instructions: I printed this conversion piece using 100% ABS filling. However, for my second attempt (with a Ryobi tool), I used only 0.4% PLA filling and found it to be more than solid enough. It's essential that you have support material, but with the latest version of Slic3r, removing it is almost impossible. Therefore, I recommend downloading Slic3r 0.9.0, which works perfectly. To make this conversion even more robust, I applied ABS glue to ensure its solidity. Although PLA doesn't require this additional step, it's a good precautionary measure. To secure the electrical connections, I used metal straps with holes designed for plumbers to fix pipes to ceilings. Electrical wires were then connected to the original tool connectors. Before gluing anything in place, carefully position all components to avoid any mistakes. Finally, use a hot glue gun to attach the conversion piece to your tool. This will give it some flexibility and prevent breakage when subjected to stress. I tried using screws instead of glue but found that they didn't provide enough stability.
