The Pimoroni Tufty 2040 Badge + Accessory Kit doesn't have a good solution for securing the battery case beyond some velcro stickers. There is a great model designed for semi-permanent storage of one of the LiPo battery packs (but lacking a charger, you're going to be opening the case often.
Assembly:
- Print the three pieces (I used PLA on my Ender 3 v2)
- Install two strips of VHB tape (it's ok to overlap the power switch indent area)
- Plug in the power cable from the AAA battery pack
- Make sure you leave the power switch in the “on” position - you're about to stick it down!
- Install 4 M2 screws (the ones I had were a little long) with sharp points - they'll hold better than machine screws in the slotted channels in the back piece.
- Coil the power cable between the badge and the middle section - these wires are roughly random length in my experience so you might need to coil a bit.
- Peel the backer off of the VHB tape and stick the battery pack in position - thread the wires through and make sure it's switch side down - that way you can open the battery compartment to change them.
Enjoy!
Thanks Les Pounder for your work on the original model!
