Pentax D-LI68 Battery and SD / MicroSD holder

thingiverse

Update - I recently printed another of these and discovered that the tolerance between the clip and holder was too small, prompting me to update the design with additional clearance and a stronger clip. The current version is now M3. Considering making some minor adjustments and updating the files again if time permits. I found the clip to be somewhat aggressive for such a thin battery, suggesting that trimming it down might be a good idea. On the plus side, it holds the battery securely. Additionally, I may make some small changes to the openings on the sides, such as adding fillets and possibly enlarging them. These are battery and SD/MicroSD card holders designed for a Pentax D-LI68 battery (used in the Pentax Q). There are six total models, with three different types: plain, with an SD card holder, and with a Micro SD card holder. Each type has a model with a clip and one without. The models featuring clips will require printing supports unless you increase the overhang percentage. I printed some with supports (lines) and found them to be easily removable, which is my recommended approach. So far, I've only printed the micro-SD version with the clip, but it fits the battery and micro SD cards well - although keep in mind that every printer is slightly different. I recommend using more than 40% infill and walls at least 0.8mm thick to ensure the clip has sufficient strength. Printing with 40% infill does not appear to be a weakness, but I suggest you still follow this advice. Please orient these so they print with the open end facing up.
