X9D 18650 Battery Door

thingiverse

This is a battery door I whipped up today to hold a 2-cell, 2500mAh 18650 battery that packs quite a punch. The battery bears a striking resemblance to the Strix Power Stix from RMRC - if you don't feel like building your own, that one will do just fine. https://www.amazon.com/RMRC-Lithium-Li-Ion-Goggle-Battery/dp/B074FYYDPB?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B074FYYDPB Print this battery door in the orientation shown in the pictures - if you're using PLA and your bridging settings are spot on, you can skip the supports altogether. After printing, take a minute to cut off those little pieces circled in red with an exacto knife, and you'll be good to go. The part in the pictures is actually the first version I printed up to get a feel for the dimensions before I gave it a sleek new look by fancying up all the edges. EDIT V1.2: After multiple prints, I identified a few areas that needed some tweaking - so I beefed up the footprint on the modeled supports to prevent any failures from happening. The back of the door was a bit too snug in its slot and would crack under pressure, so I made some adjustments there as well. To top it all off, I made some cosmetic fixes to give it a more polished look.
