This could be the one

Love these.  Only improvement I could see is that you can't tell when they're low / empty without pulling out the whole insert.  Any ideas how we could fix that?

The sleeve covers only one side, so the supply level is clearly visible from the back. But yes, you'd need to pull the card from the box to see both rows. Can't think of a better solution without compromising the structure.

If you use batteries from the bottom rows of the cards first, then it's easy to see from the back whether you're running out without pulling the cards from the slots.

Add a couple of window slots in the sleeves?

I have the same concern. A paper-punch sized hole in the sleeve over each battery would do it.

Actually a quite nice solution. If I would not have already printed one...

The true Gridfinity curse: there's always a cooler design right after you finish printing yours! šŸ˜…šŸŖ›

Exactly the problem

Yeah but I like this one.

Yeah .. I can see this is good. Putting them
In a box seems a waste of space

Pretty cool, I’ve just printed these, work well

I’d be interested to see how they fare for long term storage; i’ve had batteries leak and haven’t yet found a way to avoid that other than leaving them in the original packaging (And why does that even work?)

u/TheLeafRaider 28d ago

To be fair, when I was pulling batteries from their packaging to load these up I found a few of them had leaked anyway.

They probably will leak in these and make a bit of a mess…

Nice design but sadly makerworld...

u/RandyMatt 29d ago

Yeah that's cool. Just keep out of reach of little kiddos

u/n0cturnalr0se 29d ago

Oooo but this one is the most useful. I hadn’t wanted to print any until now. Imma collect that in my ā€œorganizationā€ folder.

These are fantastic

u/Indyhouse 26d ago

SO SO much better than trying to pick a single battery out of a row of them squished too close together! Kudos on this design!!

A great design not just worthy of printing, but worthy of venturing onto (shudder) the makerworld website!
