About this print
A wall-mountable dispenser for storing and dispensing common household batteries, covering AA, AAA, C and D cells as well as 9V types. It keeps batteries organised and easy to retrieve rather than mixed together in a drawer or box. PLA is a suitable choice for this kind of storage piece, as it is rigid enough to support the weight of stacked batteries without flexing over time.

I don't know how normal people organize their batteries. Do normal people "organize" them by dumping them in a big bin along with assorted chargers, plastic bags, and a lint roller? If so, then I am a normal people.
If not? Well, if not, then this is my ticket to normalcy. At last.
I wanted a slick way to organize and dispense my most often-used batteries. There are quite a few battery organizers/dispensers on Thingiverse, but none of them quite worked for me. Either they were too tall for my printer, didn't have the right combination of battery storage, or didn't screw to a wall.
So, I decided to make my own. And so can you!
I've included three sample battery dispenser STL files that you're welcome to use directly. They might work, but they're probably not exactly what you're looking for and you'll likely end up filled with regret when you realize just how much they're not... you.
However, the real beauty of this is that you can use OpenSCAD to create custom battery dispensers until your heart is well and truly contented. Simply download the (two!) SCAD files that I've uploaded, and open "battery_dispenser.scad" and create you own battery-dispensing monstrosity!
(I apologize that this isn't customizable directly through the Thingiverse "Customizer", but my design involves two SCAD files, and the Customizer only supports one. I could combine them, but that sounds like work...)
Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.
Printing Customizable Battery Dispenser
For Customizable Battery Dispenser we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
