Description

Improved version of AA Battery Storage Box [AAA version here: https://www.printables.com/model/903130-improved-aaa-battery-rugged-box ] [CR123a version: here: https://www.printables.com/model/903148-improved-cr123a-battery-rugged-box ] Liked the design from @TheSameNameTwice , so I remixed it improving and reducing some weak points. 1. Top cover improved closing latch: The lever is now longer, to have a smoother closure and more durability. Moreover the latch has a 'B' structure to support flexibility without breaking easily. 2. Bottom box has three improvements: The hinge is supported by three sturdy and smooth inserts coming from the bottom, increasing durability and avoiding breaking it during first assembly. Additionally I carved a V shape insert area to have a better hinge snap-in during assembly. Finally the front latching area is now improved a little because it was too thin in the original model. Printed with tree supports to improve plastic structure but they may be not used. Suggested a flexible material like PETG to ensure a better assembly of the hinge. Bottom box can be printed in PLA, but cover is recommended in PETG. Post-Printing Step1: Print bottom and top Step2: Assemble the top cover on the bottom by pushing vertically down
