Pokeball USB Battery Holder: A Compact Storage Solution for Your Anker PowerCore Batteries Perfectly designed to fit the lipstick-sized USB batteries from Anker, this Pokeball battery holder is a must-have accessory for any power user. Made from durable materials and constructed with precision engineering, it provides a secure and stylish way to store your portable chargers. To get started, you'll need to print out two halves of the Pokeball using a 3D printer. If you're printing with supports, be sure to remove them carefully before assembly. Alternatively, you can use half-size prints and glue them together for a seamless finish. For an added touch of realism, apply Bondo #907 to both halves and let it dry completely. Then, sand aggressively using progressively finer grits (80-2000) until the surface is smooth and even. To achieve a high-gloss finish, use Rustoleum Apple Red Gloss and Gloss White spray paint, applying multiple coats and allowing each layer to dry before sanding. For a flawless finish, consider using Bondo Spot and Glaze putty to create a seamless joint between the two halves. This will give your Pokeball a professional-looking appearance that's sure to impress. To assemble the holder, simply glue the two halves together using Super Glue or Epoxy. To ensure a precise fit, carefully sand the interior channel where the USB battery goes before applying the final coat of paint. Tips for Creating a Show-Stopping Finish: * Work on one half at a time, covering it with Bondo Spot and Glaze putty #907 and smoothing out any imperfections using rubber gloves. * Sand each half progressively finer (160-2000 grit) until you achieve a smooth surface. * Apply multiple coats of paint, allowing each layer to dry before sanding. * Use high-quality sandpaper (1000-2000 grit) to create a flawless finish. * Consider adding a clear coat for an extra touch of protection and shine. Supplies Needed: * Bondo #907 * Rubber gloves * Masking tape * Rustoleum Apple Red Gloss * Rustoleum Gloss White * High fill spray primer * Super Glue or Epoxy * 160, 600, 1000, 2000 grit sandpaper * Meguiar's M105 and M205 compounds * Sponge compound applicators or dual-action/rotary polisher (optional) * Clearcoat (optional) With patience and attention to detail, you'll be able to create a stunning Pokeball USB battery holder that will make your friends jealous.
