Battery Boxes

 We have a pile of batteries around the house.  AA, AAA, D, 9 volt, coin, and they all make a mess in a box.  To help with this I searched Printables, Thangs, Thingiverse and didn't find anything I liked to store them.  So many of the boxes were just not right, or didn't have enough space, or some other thing.  So... I fired up Fusion and started to design my own.

In the design, I made it parameterized.  There are many variables entered into the design, but the primary ones are the diameter of the cell, the length of the cell, and the number of rows and columns in the box.  Other than that, the box will design itself, along with the box top.  These can then be exported to your slicer and printed.  

The file is posted in printables.

Raspberry Pi case for Octoprint

 I have a raspberry pi connected to my 3d printer.  It allows a larger storage location, gives me the ability to generate movies of the printing, gives me stats on how my prints and printer are doing. I can also connect and send files through my network, so it’s a bit more convenient than copying things by an SD card.
