Nice!! Efficiently organized!

However,I do not see too many IF any 18650,get w/ the program!! lol! :wink:

21

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?

22

Looks perfect for what you need Zebretta. Nicely made. :+1:

23

lol….What has our society come to ? :slight_smile:

24

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 :wink:

25

You made that with a 3D printer Zebretta? That’s impressive!

How long does something like that take to “print”?

26

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 :slight_smile:

27

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.

28

Thank you very much sir! :slight_smile:

I hope everyone gets a 3D printer eventually so they can join the fun.
I do know there are already a number of people who’ve been at this forum long before me that use a 3D printer.
Maybe they’ll chime in?
I’d love to see the cool stuff they’ve made. Maybe we can swap print files.

Here’s something else Flashlight related I made with it……

A Protective lens cap for my new Convoy C8 to protect the lens against scratches and damage when I toss it in the car.
It self tightens when you twist it to keep it snugly in place. I’d bet a lot of other members here with a 3D printer have made some cool lens caps.

looks great! good idea on going vert to save space.

31

Thanks friend!

Half the fun was making it.

32

Good one !!! :stuck_out_tongue:

So my batteries are “inmates”, not residents

I wonder what the “charges” were ? lol
Maybe guilty of breaking “ohms law” ? :slight_smile:

Ok….sry

33

I store all of mine in an old TN31 case. If you’re in my house and you need cells of any size the TN31 box has most :smiley:

34

How much was that 50 shell case?

35

If only there was one for the flashlight farm…

36

I looked them up too in case I wanted to go mobile with my “inmates”

At Walmart I saw $17.00 ?

37

With a 3D printer you could design and print anything you could imagine. Including a case for all your flashlights.

Although to print really really big stuff might require a really really big (expensive) 3D printer :slight_smile:

Here’s a little Harbor Freight Precision Screwdriver organizer I made because I’m so scatterbrained I kept misplacing them…
It’s really a lot of fun to do this stuff in my free time.

38

Or how about a 26650 battery holder for testing 26650 batteries with your hobby charger?

Cost to make? 21 cents.

Designed….

Printed…

$11.27 here http://www.ammoboxes.com/shotshell50s.html
I don”t know about shipping costs though.
I am sure that Teacher sent me a link to somewhere in the states that had them for even cheaper, maybe he will chime in when he reads this :wink:
