An AA cell is the same length as a C cell, but obviously a smaller diameter. Often the device using C cells doesn't really need the large capacity of C cells, and anyway rechargeable AA's are relatively inexpensive. So here's a neat way to power those devices needing C cells, without having to purchase those relatively expensive (and hard to find ) cells.

This is designed to use as little plastic as possible and to suit all AA cells.   Depending on your device, use 2 or maybe 3 of these on each AA cell to replace a C-cell.    

Probably best with PETG rather than PLA because of the need for the 'spring' to remain fairly tight. 

Recommend using a brim since contact with the bed is only a small area.

Each part is 10mm high. 

I also provide a 'full size' AA cell sleeve (45mm) if that is your requirement.  I've not printed this part.
