Battery Case - Print in Place, Hinged

Design Concept

I made these to store the most commonly used batteries for my smart home devices. It's based on an old version I found on another platform. All of these were designed from scratch in Fusion 360 - printed and tested.

The battery case is designed with a print-in-place hinge mechanism for seamless operation and convenience. Its compact and efficient design makes it an ideal storage solution while ensuring the safety of batteries.

Printing Suggestions

Grab your favourite color PLA and start printing. (Silk-PLA not recommended).

Standard 0.4 Nozzle

0.20mm Layer Height

2 Walls

10% Rectilinear Infill

No Supports!

Flat profiles (top & bottom) lie face down, so get creative with your textured build plates.

After the print - loosen the hinge by gently closing the lid - should work perfectly after that. I test printed every case with PLA.

Assembly Instructions

No assembly is required as this is a print-in-place model designed successfully during printing, ensuring the hinged component is immediately functional post-print.
