Makita Battery Connector

Connector for a Makita PA18 Ni-Cd (drill) battery. I'm using Makita 18V battery for motion controller tests on my Exoskeleton (Bot Legs) project: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1532027 I needed a convenient way of connecting it up with the correct polarity while being able to easily disconnect it for re-charging. This is what I came up with. It works, is a good fit and will only connect one way so correct polarity is ensured. I used picture wall hanging clips for the electrical connectors with screws for affixing the electrical cable connections. Quick and not pretty - but it works! Printer Settings Printer: K8200 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.3 Infill: 25% Notes: Printed in Bridge Nylon. I didn't use any supports or rafts. It bridged really well when it got to the top. (I would have printed it flat side down but the first draft had an inbuilt cable screw clip on top). I removed it, more trouble than it was worth. You can see the alternative solution in the pics.
