Battery storage dispenser AA AAA

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted battery storage for only my most used battery sizes AA &amp; AAA that would sit on a table, shelf or could be mounted to a wall. After researching a few ideas on the net I decided to make one similar to one fisher made on YouTube. After a few failures on trying to get the batteries to “pop-out” as the bottom battery was removed I came up with this design. The storage dispenser slots have large radius fillets at the bottom that guide the bottom battery out. So as the bottom battery of a slot is removed, the next one drops down, follows the fillet and protrudes proud of the sliding windows. This also allows clearance for your fingers to grasp the bottom battery. Counterbored holes are provided on the back wall of the AAA slots if mounting to a wall is desired. Walls adjacent to AA slots are hollow to save filament. I first used acrylic pieces for the sliding windows but then made stl models for 3D printing them. The slider stl files were recognized by Prusa slicer as having logo/lettering to allow for different color for the letters. Transparent filament is a suggestion. Best to print the dispenser with the back wall on the print bed to avoid the need for supports for overhangs. Open the gcode file provided on Prusa slicer for better visual.</p>
