I have a bunch of Panasonic Eneloop AA batteries and I've learned that they're slightly wider than a standard AA battery. As a result, I figured I'd go ahead and design my own #gridfinity container. I was able to modify Jamie's OpenSCAD Gridfinity Model and clumsily tweak it to hold my AA batteries tightly enough .
I tried it with a few other standard AA batteries that I have around the house and it works well for them, but depending on their diameter, and depending on the differences between our 3D-printers' calibrations they may fit a bit tighter or looser for you.
I designed this intentionally to be on the tight side. I don't want my batteries coming loose when I pull the bin out of the drawer.
This is a parameterized design which can be customized to meet your own needs:
- Add additional sets (3) of AAA batteries.
- Adjust the size of the battery holes.
- Add or Remove holes for magnets.
All customizations
- Download and install OpenSCAD
- Download and unzip All Model Files
- Run OpenSCAD and open the
gridfinity_battery_aa.scadfile.
Adjusting the hole size to fit your batteries:
- Measure your batteries with a caliper and update the
battery_diametervariable (default is 14.5mm)
Adding magnet holes
- Change the
magnet_holesvalue to true. (default is false)
Export the STL
- Save the changes to the .SCAD file
- Render in OpenSCAD (Design > Render)
- Export updated the STL (Design > Export)
