Model Overview & Print Notes

Summary

AA/AAA battery containers, army grade, waterproof, for outdoor use.

Which means these are meant to withstand being overrun by an average battle tank...

Well, strictly speaking, they aren't (and the military grade is simply because in matte green -see below - they look just like army issue ;-) ). Actually I really wanted containers for my spare batteries that are splash proof and can withstand some rough handling when hiking, mountaineering, and mountain biking. Dropped them in a bucket of water, dropped them on the floor and they are still alive (use ABS or PETG if you need them to be really tough). Not sure about the tank piece, so don't blame me... ;-)

They come in two flavors:

  • The smaller size for AAA batteries and
  • The larger size for AA batteries

FILAMENT
They look absolutely gorgeous in Matte Army Green. Never used this filament before (just ordered for this design, but it's really awesome, so expect more designs in army green in the future).
Alternatively I use some cheap and incredibly easy to print Carbon Fiber PLA , which gives that little extra strength, beautiful soft touch and half-matte shine.

PRINTING
Printing is super easy. Print at 0.2+ resolution and with 25%+ infill. No supports or build plate adhesion needed. Make sure to print the lid upside down. Use some strong material and infill if you need that extra strength.

HOPE YOU LIKE THEM, AND IF YOU LIKE THEM, PLEASE LIKE THEM. THANKS!

Enjoy and happy printing!
