## Details
Modified the [Parametric Rugged Box](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4757317) by [TheSameNameTwice](https://www.thingiverse.com/TheSameNameTwice) to hold 48 AAA batteries.
Note that I also modified the original [Parametric Rugged Box](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4757317)'s hinge mechanism to make it easier to install whilst maintaining the rigidity. Also trimmed down the locking mechanism so it doesn't feel like it'll break every time I close the box.
I added a file **aaa_sample.stl** that has a few AAA holes that I recommend testing with to make sure your AA's will fit into the holes in the box just in case. And if it doesn't fit, you probably want to tune your horizontal expansion ([Cura](https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012512340-Shell-settings#h_75ad5088-d918-448d-8d7f-6c4d6f4e10ee)) or scale up the model slightly.

## Printing
Nothing should need supports. Make sure you're printing the bottom part, bottom side against the build plate, and the top part, top side against the build plate.
I printed with a 0.2mm layer height with 15% gyroid infill, came out more than strong enough. I used Prusament Galaxy Silver PLA on my Prusa i3 MK3S+ printer.
