Milwaukee M18 Battery Mount Clip-In

thingiverse

This is a wall mount/belt mount system for the Milwaukee M18 Batteries that allows them to clip in and hold securely. The mount holes are designed for standard drywall screws for easy availability and the print itself is very quick without requiring supports/rafts. Lots of iterations in this design, but I'm really happy with how tight these fit the battery (no jiggling whatsoever) and the ability to fit ~6 of these on my print bed to go at once. This frees up my workbench and moves these over to a nice easily accessible location. I've tested these running as battery holders on my belt. They work/feel strong, haven't felt like I could break them but I find the weight wasn't worth it. Only time I've used it was for bringing extra batteries onto a roof. Installation is with the three provided holes, it's been designed to take in standard drywall screws (#6 - 1 1/4") as shown in the picture. Inspiration was a commercial product I'd purchased but found the injection molding was fragile and the fit of the battery was quite loose. Have done some re-designs here to fix these as well as remove some material to speed up printing. This design is intended only for personal use and not intended to be sold.
