I was looking for some batteries for a project and noticed how messy the current battery storage solution was in my house; currently it's just stuffing everything in a box. I realized I have a 3D printer that I could make anything I wanted with; unfortunately, I couldn't find anything online that was simple and to my liking... so I made one myself! Less than 10 hours later, here we are :D

## Features
This box features 24 slots for AAA batteries and 18 slots for AA batteries. It is easily expandable and customizable with the open-source CAD files to suit your preferences. The model is designed to be very sturdy, and I printed it at 10% infill without any issues. According to BambuStudio, the filament cost is $1.96, with 97.81 grams used.

## How to print yourself

This was printed on my Bambu Lab A1 Mini with PLA fillament from Creality. You can find the specific fillament type [here](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/creality-3d/CR-PLA-BLACK/15964819).

1. Download the files
2. Slice it
I used the Default settings from BambuStudio with the exception of changing the Spare infill from 15% -> 10%. This is as I believe in the structural integerity of this design and this saves on print time and fillament.
