This thing was created as an drop - in Maktita battery terminal replacement. It was desigend to work with the excellent battery mount from GPlatek http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:352094 as shown in the pictures. Instructions First print it ;-) Cut two stripes 12mm x 51mm (approx) with an lug 4mm x 5 mm at one side from a 0.8 - 1.0 mm sheet metal. I used a sheetmetal cutted out from a 0.8 mm zinc gutter pipe. Cut a slot 5mm from the side opposite to the lugs to make the cable lug fit. file a little chamfer on the short lug side for eased slide - in of the connector into the battery. Bent the stripes according to the slots in the part. Fit the metal parts into the printed one and secure them using the lugs and some instant glue. Done!
