I strongly suggest everyone to check out Nil's AAA battery adapter as it requires no wires and only 15mins / 1 gram to print! Even I've moved away from this design and printed a bunch of his adapters
Mod your calipers to use AAA's! Instead of those dumb button cells. There are a few of these mods already but each of their post-print setups were kind of a pain.
I managed to make this version with NO soldering, springs or screws!
All you need is • wire (24 awg) • 2 dabs of super glue • strip of double sided tape.
**You can also use a usb c rechargeable aaa for a more permanent fancier setup!
- Use double sided tape to stick the battery holder to the back of the calipers
- Route your wires through the holes and twist the ends into a spiral (see photos)
- After you're satisfied with your wires dab some super glue to keep them in place
- Slide off the battery cover and terminal cover off your calipers and route the wires inside
- Bend the ends of your wires into hooks and hook them around the corresponding terminals (see photos)
