So I am asking for help from some of you that are doing 3D prints to create something like this to sell for a reasonable price.... I want some!



As well as just blank dummie batteries to fill in the spaces

Thank you :)

Hello Jeff!

I want an easy way for people to replace battery powered items, with a voltage regulator and dummie batteries.


http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:118167/#instructions

"Printed in PLA, insert wire with crimp ring in slots on either end, screw in a pan head #8 screw at each end to hold in place and provide contact surface. Negative end will be recessed/flush with battery end. Positive screw will protrude."

I guess this would work perfectly :)

Thanks that was easy

So maybe it would be cool if somebody printed a whole bunch and put them on ebay or something along with something like this video that shows how connect. Or even create kits for less technical people

I think one could utilize some kind of plastic rod the correct diameter, just cut it to the desired length, would be so simple.:D
