Battery Organizer

I got tired of my batteries roaming wild in my junk drawer and decided to build them a new home.

Each of these designs will make a rack that measures 192 mm x 145 mm (7.5" x 5.75")

All files are also available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3429076

I originally designed it to have a solid base, but then I reworked it to have a mesh base to cut down on filament use and print time.

The top and bottom are each 5 mm high.

To maximize filament and time efficiency, print the base of your choice, as many spacers(see next step) as you think you will need ( I used 2 D, 1 C, 2AA, 2 AAA, and 2 9V) and then a top to match.

The pre-made assorted battery holder (battery holder mesh base.stl, Battery holder top.stl) will hold:

4 D cell

5 C cell

40 AA

30 AAA

4 9V

8 CR2032 button cell batteries

These spacers are all 20 mm high. Combined with the top and bottom from the previous step, the holder will be 30 mm high.

In case you have different battery needs, here is an assortment of different sized battery rings separated by size as well as a mesh base.

Feel free to mix and match to suit your needs.

Here are a few racks designed for just one size of battery per rack.

The D cell holder (Battery holder D cell only.stl) will hold 20 batteries

The C cell holder (Battery holder C cell only.stl) will hold 35 batteries

In order to make a more efficient print I retooled the rack for the C cell batteries.

The modified files, Battery holder C cell only short top.stl, and Battery holder C cell only short bottom.stl.

Using these files and 5 of the C cell spacers will make a rack that will still hold 35 C cells, but it will take about half of the amount of filament to print and be done in just over half as long.
