Description

After making my 380 cartridge case, I realized the same basic design would make great battery carriers.  The way I modeled that one, I couldn't just remix it, not to get easy to change parameters, so this is a whole remodel from scratch, designed to be able to change pretty much all attributes, for size and capacity. Can ever be use for cartridge cases, just need the appropriate measurements to plug in.

All changeable dimensions are available in OpenSCAD customizer, no coding knowledge needed, just point click and go!  Presets for AA, AAA, and 18650 included. 

Uses a trick I found on youtube, Negative Volume Printing, to print inner and outer contours as one line in vase mode, fast and easy. No infill, and a split side, but plenty sturdy enough for this task.  Set up to run at a 0.8mm wall in vase mode, but that parameter is settable in the customizer as well!

And also, it is fully modeled, to run with or with out the center split, and can be printed in regular mode, not just vase. It will just be over built and slow to do so. ;-) 

Might not show water tight in slicer… So far they don't need to be to print in vase. 

I'm printing at 0.8mm walls from a 0.4mm nozzle, PLA or PETG, at 0.2 or 0.25 layer with no issues. I have not actually printed the non vase mode STL, but I see no reason it won't be fine.

Note, to run the SCAD file and customizer, the BOSL2 library is required, see here;
