Battery Dispenser 2.0 (AAA)

- With this second version, I completely redesigned the battery dispenser from top to bottom. The result is a design that is not only more stylish, but also more reliable, more 3D printer-friendly, easier to assemble, and more user-friendly.

- If you enjoy this model, let me know—I’ll be happy to design and share an AA version soon.

What is new?

1- Leather-Textured Exterior: The leather-textured exterior helps conceal layer lines, giving the print a cleaner and more refined appearance.

2- Rounded Design: More rounded design with thicker walls. Not just a visual improvement, but also stronger and more stable.

3- Jam-Free Design: The feed opening is precisely sized to guide batteries into the holder in the correct orientation. A gravity-fed interior with a slide-like design helps prevent jams. Also feeding batteies into dispenser is much more easier.

4- Hidden Mount: The hidden mounting system lets you easily hang or remove the holder in seconds, while its concealed design keeps the mounting hardware hidden inside the body for a clean look when used without the hanger.

5- Easy Assembly: No glue is required for assembly. Installation is quick and easy with the slide-on cover, which can also be replaced whenever you like. The cover is designed to fit tightly enough to stay securely in place, yet can be removed easily whenever needed.

6- Easy Battery Removal: Small ramps have been added to prevent the next battery from falling out while still allowing you to slide it out easily when needed.

7- Fill Level Window: Fill level window lets you quickly check whether you have enough batteries remaining.

8- Multi Color Printing With gen1 Printers: Battery type, battery status indicator and fill level window are optimized for filament swap printing.

9- 18+ Battery Capacities: The holder can store up to 18 batteries (excluding the feed ramp at the top).

Printing Tips
