IKEA STENKOL Mountable Battery Storage (AA & AAA)

I made this 3D printable model because I wanted to combine an IKEA STENKOL charging station with a convenient battery dispenser to keep your rechargeable batteries organized and ready to use.

Key Features

• Integrated Charging Station: Securely holds the IKEA STENKOL battery charger at the top of the unit.

• Gravity-Fed Dispenser: Features a track directly beneath the charger to store and dispense batteries. It holdes ~ 10 AA and 11 AA.

• Multi-Size Compatibility: The dispenser accommodates both AA and AAA batteries.

• Direct Outlet Mounting: The frame wraps around the STENKOL charger, allowing its plug prongs to pass cleanly through the back to mount the entire assembly directly to your wall outlet.

• Versatile Placement: Designed with a stable base so it can also be stored freestanding on a desk or shelf.

Suggested Print Settings

• Orientation: I printed it exactly as it stands upright on a Prusa CORE One+, and it worked flawlessly.

• Walls: Go with an Outer-Inner wall printing sequence to minimize the visibility of inner walls on the surface finish.

• Infill: 15-20% grid or gyroid for structural stability.

• Supports: Check your slicer preview; minor supports may be needed for the overhangs where the charger sits or the dispenser curves.

Designer Notes

I tried to keep the model's rear clearances generous enough to account for different sized wall sockets, but I can only verify this with the European (EU) plug model.

If you have requests or suggestions, I would love to hear them and implement updates (for example, a desk-only version to save on filament). Let me know in the comments!

This model was designed entirely from scratch to integrate a gravity dispenser with the IKEA STENKOL charger. Thank you @ORM_649441 for the inspiration and dispenser dimensions:
