Ryobi 18V Power Box (Blank Template)

thingiverse

I have many projects that need 12-18V of power and I have many Ryobi Batteries. This is a blank template that can be used to power anything. I used JeffWDH's excellent template for the TS100 Soldering Iron that you should totally checkout [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4303879) if you have that Soldering Iron. You can either print the blank templates or I have included the STEP file if you want to edit this to fit your needs. The blank top and base can be drilled through if you set your infill high enough and are careful. Required Hardware: * [Keystone 209 *](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VTPWM6M/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B06VTPWM6M&linkCode=am2&tag=mattwdesign-20&linkId=5c9a5c49871d4f9801745403bcee07b7) - These fit perfectly within the adjusted divots on the print and are exactly the same size as the connectors on the Ryboi Batteries. I have seen other connectors work, but these should provide the most reliable connection and highest amp draw possibilities. Optional Hardware: * [Basic Switch *](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S2QJKTX/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=mattwdesign-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07S2QJKTX&linkId=fdf31208f2e27556ba928744e58bc41c) - This is the switch modeled in the STL with the square whole in the side for a simple switch. * [Terminal Binding Posts *](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZJLB6QK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=mattwdesign-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07ZJLB6QK&linkId=c62ccd7a9b8a3ea4db86c14918ef04c6) - Super felxible. Can use a banana style plug or just push the wire through and tighten it down. Really great for a general use power supply. * [DC Barrel Jack Power Connector *](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081V9P8BT/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=mattwdesign-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B081V9P8BT&linkId=9c4557d9b5b8b3ff3fcf6fddf12535fe) - These give the cleaneast look to the finished box. Plug in the wire when in use and unplug and store when you are not using it. * [XT-60 Connector *](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GQVHB3V/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=mattwdesign-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07GQVHB3V&linkId=1da72b44ddde6d6f1b37bd02df2652c5) - Great for R/C Hobbies. This connector can be modeled into the lid/sid or cut carefully out of the side with a Dremel. * [My Favorite Silicone Hookup Wire *](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NBE9C91/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=mattwdesign-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01NBE9C91&linkId=69a8428a49a6bf1f84d258cd1bac55cf) - The wiring inside the box can get a little tight depending on how complex the project is. High Quality silicone wire will make the routing a breeze. This stuff will bend and flex with zero resistance. *-These are affiliate links, so I get a **small** kickback if you use them. I like to provide links to the exact items that worked for me and it requires a little extra effort to test and fail until I find the right stuff. This helps me pay for those failures.
