After looking online for a solution to upgrade my MagLite, i found this post https://www.instructables.com/Maglite-USB-Rechargeable-18650-and-LED-Upgrade/ from JGJMatt . Unfortunately his solution was made for 2cells battery pack, too thight for my 18650 cells and, i didn't wanted to modify the Maglite it self. So i clearly inspired my version from his work to make what i wanted.
My design requirements:
- No modification on the original MagLite
- Removable battery pack
- Using positive and negative plugs that where already in the torch light
- Easy maintenance (removable 18650 cells, easy access board)
3D Printed parts :
I printed everything in PETG, ABS other filament that has enough durability.
Springs are printed in 0.2 quality, 15% infill, printed on the side
Main body 0.2 quality, 15% infill, printed face down(cells part down), only support the tiny plugs on each side. Brim by security but maybe useless.
Positive cell plug (borne+) 0.2quality, 40% infill (i tried and fail with 15% infill)
If you don't have nuts you may use screws only for springs. For the positive plugs, be creative... i didnt test other posibility.
