Summary I got tired of printing battery dispensers that would jam after dispensing only a few batteries. I also wanted it to hold a lot of batteries. This one will hold up to 37 AA batteries and will not jam while dispensing.

It can be made and used by printing just the dispenser.

You can view it in action here (without the side cover attached)

Notes: I used an Ender 6 but this model printer is not on the drop-down list.

Post-Printing If you decided to make the side cover then be very careful when gluing it to the dispenser. If you use too much glue there is a chance it will ooze into the battery chutes and interfere with the dispensing. Use glue very sparingly to avoid this.

Custom Section Additional Instructions It works fine without the side cover, but if you make the side cover, glue it on carefully. Excess glue might find its way into the chutes and interfere with dispensing. A future version might include snap joints or screws.

The letters are embossed into the dispenser so you don't really need the AA Letters file unless you want to make it look fancy with a different colour for the letters.

It should be obvious to lay the biggest face down onto the XY plane of your printer. But you will need to use supports on the Dispenser. Very short supports from the bed only, are needed for the curled overhang at the bottom of the chutes.
