18650 Battery Dispenser

[vaalboy]

I have 8 18650 batteries for use on my Reo's and the one frustration is ensuring all the batteries are used and cycled equally. I came across this on the web which looks was 3D printed. Does anyone have access to a 3D printer that could make one for me? Really looks neat.

That looks quite cool although I think I'd mix them up with carrying batteries around as backup and charging them at different times for different devices.

@vaalboy I also have 8 and would find this extremely helpful.

Ask me again in 3 months when I have my 3D printer...lol

Oh wow! Such a good idea!

 

[Andre]

That would be a winner!

Indeed a must have for the armies of batteries that some of us have .

Gonna take ages to 3d print methinks, but will ask the hobby shop next to work

It may be ghetto,but the first thing that came to mind was a retail lip ice/balm dispenser

the hobby ship is going to need the schematics.

Think you can download the file from the link in the OP.

@vaalboy - that is a cool idea and i think it will add value
Cycling the batts is also something I like doing
At the moment i just put the freshly charged batts in a line in a plastic holder, standing upright. Newly charged ones go at the back of the line. So that way I try give them all an equal chance to push electrons in the Reo...

Is there a 18500 version?

With 3D printing you can resize as you wish. This can be resized to take any battery you want.

Ice cream sticks and wood glue would also work. I've been getting some practice with kids school projects.
