What we brought

  1. What we can do

    Covers that snap on

    The cover snaps onto the base. In the second revision each battery box has its own cover, which snaps onto the box.

  2. How we look after you

    Room for the wiring

    Set places for the battery contacts, a wire layout area along the inside and a USB cable exit in the back were part of the design from the first revision.

  3. What you get

    Easier to handle

    Revision 1 split the batteries into three boxes with their own covers, which slot into the base and line up on alignment features.

Our scope
3D design and renders, handed over as 3D files

At Additive Inn, our 3D printing studio in Singapore, we designed a battery holder for Unity Secondary School. It holds batteries in three compartments under a cover, with room for the wiring and a USB cable exit.

Two revisions

Step 2 of 3

Revision 0 was a base with three compartments and a cover that snaps on. Revision 1 put the batteries in three boxes of their own, each with a cover, that slot into the base.

  1. Revision 0

    A base with three battery compartments and a snap-fit cover, set places for the battery contacts, a wire layout area along the inside and a USB cable exit in the back. 360 mm long outside, 328 by 98 mm inside.

  2. Revision 1

    Three battery boxes, each with its own cover for easier handling. The boxes slot into the base and line up on alignment features, with an area for a sheet to slot in, and each cover snaps onto its box.
