Thanks The Miler!
It’s compensation…everything else I have is total chaos unfortunately.
ok….shhhhh……. lol
The “apartment” cost $5.00 I believe was the materials cost. Absolutely under $10.00
So the “rent” was a one time payment of $5.00 :innocent:
It has 50 individual sections each one just the right size for an 18650 :+1:
They are only cheap & lots of different sizes available from 12 - 100 sections irc Shotshells
SF-50-12-09 - Shotshell Case 50 Round 12 Gauge up to 3"
I have the 12ga shotshell case as well, works very well. Mines full, have more cells in a couple of other cases. More cells on the way.
Nice. If I didn’t have a 3D printer that would have been a good option.
The really good thing about your set up is it’s very mobile. Mine…not so much 
Couldn’t help but notice that nice flashlight collection in the background. You are SO far ahead of me 
Thanks for sharing :+1:
Yes I wish I had bought the 100 shell box now as I have to many cells for the 50 box & will be getting a dozen more 30Q”s & some more GA”s soon :person_facepalming:
Wish they did a cartridge box that fitted 26650”s.
Looking good guys!!! Thanks for sharing those ideas……… :+1:
Zebretta, it looks as though you have a massive “herd”!!! I like how you have them corralled though. :+1:
Ian, your “herd” looks more like the size of mine. Nice way you have them contained also. I like the box with the handle on top. :+1: Makes for easy transport.
Rumor has it that some people just buy more flashlights to “store” their spare batteries in. But I’m sure no one on this forum would do that. 
haha!
not a chance I’m sure
I WISH I had enough lights to store more of my batteries in.
Not me Teacher
You know the criteria any new light must meet before I will buy it.
It must be either
- I have a definite use for it or
- It is massive lumens at a budget price or
- It is a BLF special edition light (like the Q8)
Obviously meeting all 3 above criteria would be ideal but it must meet at least one.
Unfortunately they keep releasing lights that meet one of the above :person_facepalming:
Right?
Pathetic……but someone might need to open the first chapter of….“Lumens Anonymous”……doh!
No sir, I would never have even thought about you doing that my friend, :person_facepalming:
I possibly, maybe, could have done that at one time……. but I’ll admit to nothing. :person_facepalming: … 
Might not be a bad idea Zebretta. :+1:
It crossed my mind to give THIS a try. :person_facepalming: … But I like your idea better……. :+1: …
Hmmm — how does the diameter of a “choke” compare to a tube flashlight?
Compartment on top:
Nice!! Efficiently organized!
However,I do not see too many IF any 18650,get w/ the program!! lol!
Thanks for sharing the idea OP. It will really help me organize my tool boxes to my liking. Any hint if I am to look for a 3D printer?
Looks perfect for what you need Zebretta. Nicely made. :+1:
lol….What has our society come to ?
Haha!! You’re right…which is the “INCOMING!!!”…mentioned in the OP. 8 “pink” 3000nAh 18650’s from GB on the way.
(May have to re-wrap those tho……wrong shade of pink for my tastes
You made that with a 3D printer Zebretta? That’s impressive!
How long does something like that take to “print”?
Thanks MAD!
Wow. There are so many. I ended up by a Flash Forge Creator Pro Clone for about $600.
The important things to consider are……
1). The print bed size
2). Nozzle diameter
3). Heated (or unheated) print bed
4). Filament diameter
5). What material you will likely want to use.
Would be glad to offer whatever advice I can anytime
Yes sir! Thanks!
Ummm…all told I would say about 30 hours give or take?
I printed it in sections then used Weld-On 4 to permanently combine the pieces.
I would start a section before I went to sleep and it would be done in the morning.
Repeated that until it was all printed.
