Arduino Breadboard + Battery Holder

thingiverse

I wanted to try to create a "THING" that could hold an arduino Uno, breadboard and a 9v battery. Typically, the power is floating around and dangling. I don't like that. I also wanted the height of the breadboard to be even with the pins on the Arduino so I could use solid jumpers. I think it can make for cleaner looking prototypes. I printed this using PLA. The width of the design is just under 150mm (max of my printrbot simple). The 9v portion didn't print too well, but works fine. You can see in my picture. I think if I turned on supports it would have come out. Included STL & 123dx files. Modifications I'd like to make include: Moving over the 9v a few mm to provide more space for the Arduino board. (it's snug) Add a place for a switch Possibly move the battery to the top of the board (it would fit on more printers) Adding a lip on the left and right for "handles" to hold my creations without pawing the wires. Print Settings Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Simple Black Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: .1 Infill: 15 Notes: 150mm x 70mm I would suggest a better resolution. The pins that hold the arduino in work but didn't come out too clean. How I Designed This Designed using 123d design
