Travel Case for E-flite or Tiny Whoop 1S Batterys

thingiverse

I'm traveling soon and I needed a case that meets the TSA requirement of isolating all batteries from each other, so their contacts won't touch. I designed this case to meet those requirements and also double as general transport and storage for my Eflite batteries. Recently, I traveled internationally with this case and cleared security both in the US and abroad without any issues. As a side note, I printed out official lipo travel guidelines - while I can't guarantee results, doing your research and knowing the rules pays off big time when asked questions confidently. The print is well-done, with a lid that slides on smoothly, but might require sanding for a snug fit. You'll also want to sand down the locking nub slightly if it feels too aggressive at first - this solved my issue after I made the adjustments. I printed mine at 20% infill and support but consider using fillets instead; it may just print fine without supports altogether! If you print this design, hit me up with your settings, results, photos, and feedback so we can compare notes. On January 27, 2017, I uploaded a new version called "Holder_WhoopExtended.STL" - longer in length and featuring deeper pockets for the PowerWhoop PH2.0 connector, specifically designed for bigger batteries. My picture shows this case printed with Blue PETG; the batteries inside are 250mAh "HV" cells, all easily stored thanks to a lid compatible with both cases I made.
